Chasing Perspectives founder Josh Beames

 

I am a landscape, wedding and commercial photographer based in Australia, driven by a genuine passion for teaching and helping others grow. What began as a simple curiosity for the outdoors and a camera has evolved into leading workshops across the world and working with photographers at every stage of their journey.

Through years of learning, experimenting and refining my approach, I built a career that combines creative work with education. Today I share the systems, techniques and mindset that helped me grow so others can find clarity and confidence faster than I did.

Chasing Perspectives exists to broaden your horizons, improve your skills and connect you with a community of photographers who want to create work with meaning and intention.

I picked up my first camera more than a decade ago and began what became a steady shift from hobbyist to full time photographer. My early years in retail taught me communication, patience and people skills which later shaped how I approached weddings, properties and client work, and helped me grow quickly once I committed to photography full time.

A major turning point came when I became an official lecturer for Nikon Australia and later a sponsored creator, which opened the door to teaching through Nikon School. Designing and leading workshops showed me how much I enjoyed helping others refine their skills, understand light and composition, and create work they are proud of.

Today my focus is on building a community of photographers through workshops and courses designed to give clear guidance, real world skills and experiences that inspire long term growth. Photography is not just about making images. It is about finding direction, building confidence and creating moments that stay with you.

 

Everything I create through Chasing Perspectives is built around a simple idea. Photography becomes more rewarding when you have clarity and direction. I teach because I know how overwhelming it felt to learn on my own, and I want photographers to progress with confidence rather than guesswork.

Whether you are learning new techniques, building a business or exploring new landscapes, my goal is to give you the support, structure and experiences that create real growth. If you are ready to take your photography further, I am here to help you move forward with purpose and momentum.
