I'm Joseph Rossi — a photographer based in Leytonstone, East London, shooting in Dalston and the surrounding area on 35mm film. Portrait shoots, couples photography, family sessions, dog photography, event coverage and brand imagery for small businesses — all made with real film, honest light and no studio stiffness.
Ridley Road market colour, the Eastern Curve Garden, Kingsland High Street's shopfronts and late-night venues — loud, warm and full of character. Knowing the area means we skip the scouting and go straight to the good light — I'll suggest spots and times that suit the shoot you're after.
Half an hour from home.
Photographs from my gallery are also available as archival prints.
Film slows a shoot down in the best way. Thirty-six considered frames instead of eight hundred identical ones; colours and grain that feel warm and human straight off the negative. If you've been putting off a photoshoot because it all feels a bit stiff and corporate — this is the other kind.
