Joshua Russell
Personal Profile
Hi! My name's Josh, and I'm an independent videographer and editor located in Phoenix, Arizona. My interest in filming began when I was only 14 years old, fresh into high school. I was heavily inspired by various filmmakers I followed on YouTube, such as JR Alli and Matt Komo. I started using my iPhone and a GoPro camera to record, using iMovie as my editing software. Through trial and error, I've been able to build my skills over the years through hands-on experience, improve my equipment, and eventually develop my own personal cinematic style. As a self-taught videographer and editor, I'm extremely passionate about my work, and I always strive to create the best product I can for every opportunity I get to shoot for somebody. Whether it’s a wedding, a music video, or a creative concept, I’m committed to delivering work that not only looks good, but feels authentic to you.

The design curriculum at the University of Arizona College of Architecture has introduced me to a multitude of new perspectives on how architecture is created and utilized in our everyday lives.

Northwest Career & Technical Academy
Civil Engineering
I attended a magnet high school that offered a specialized curriculum in civil engineering with introductory courses in basic physics, construction, and industry-standard software such as Revit or Solidworks. An architectural design course I took during my junior year was the turning point, as I was able to secure a summer internship with a local architecture firm and begin to pursue my degree the following year.
