Joe Klementovich - Adventure photographer
PHOTOGRAPHY & MOTION
Inspired by the Elements
Look for me in the mountains, forests, rivers and oceans searching for another story to tell or image to create.
I create authentic photography for editorial and commercial clients in unique and difficult locations. Photographs from assignments in the sub-zero ravines of New Hampshire's Mount Washington to the bug-infested mangrove islands of the Florida Everglades fly fishing for tarpon have appeared in print nationally. I feel that my photojournalist background works well with commercial clients committed to real storytelling. My freelance career includes working with The New York Times, Boy’s Life Magazine, Fly Fish Journal, Adventure Journal and many others that place a premium on capturing real people, places, and the stories they tell.
Mountains, rivers and oceans have always played an important part in my work. My connection and love of the outdoors has led me to photography & video projects with New Hampshire Public Television on their “Windows to the Wild” television series, The Nature Conservancy, Patagonia and NRS in their work to explore, protect and promote our environment. “Being close to the mountains, forests and oceans of New Hampshire has given me a constant source of inspiration and ever-changing backdrop for my photography”. I migrated North to the White Mountains of New Hampshire to pursue rock and ice climbing after I graduated with an engineering degree from The University of New Hampshire. Traveling on various climbing adventures with a small point-and-shoot camera got me hooked on creating better and better photography to tell the stories of each outing. It was during an 11-hour ascent of the Regular Route on Half Dome in Yosemite Valley that photography would overtake my interest in engineering.
