josh is amazing. he has such great energy & spirit. he came to los angeles march 3rd for an all day photo shoot. i brought my golden retriever & chesapeake bay retriever. my dogs are high energy on steroids and he was able to make the shoot fun and my dogs loved him. so, as any parent would smooth out their kid's hair for a picture, i was getting concerned that my one dog (the chessie) was drooling like niagra falls. so josh took pics and i was trying to wipe my dog down. at the end of the shoot, josh showed me the photos of tony (the chessie) drooling, and they were sooooooooo great!!!!!!!! i could not believe it! josh is such a good sould and that he just connected with my dogs' madness is a tribute to his talent and love of animals. the only problem, out of 310 pictures, how can i choose? i am so glad i had this man capture my dogs having fun and just being dogs. i never had my dogs professionally photographed and josh's artistry has made me a follower! call josh! now!

- Mel G. West Hollywood, CA.

These were our first family photos so we wanted them to be fantastic. Josh exceeded our expectations. He really captured our personalities--he caught the mischievous twinkles in our kids' eyes. We had fun with his creative suggestions when our first choice in location didn't work out (ruins are meant to stay... ruined). He's an absolute riot. We will use him for our next family pictures, for sure, and we'll recommend him to everyone wanting beautiful, unique portraits.

- Kat B.

Josh is amazing! I first found out about him many many years ago at a pet store and hired him to take photos of my pit bull. Since then he's taken photos of my little guy as he's grown up as well as my sister in law's wedding. He is so fun to be around and gets the most creative and unique shots. Every time I see the proofs I am amazed at how well he has captured the essence of my son and my family (and my dog!) I would highly recommend him.

- Heather L.

We received this photo shoot as a very thoughtful gift from dear friends. Recently we took our little ferret to Josh's studio. Usually she is shy and reserved. However, throughout the session she was engaged with Josh and having a lot of fun. We have some amazing pictures to choose from that really show her personality! My only regret is that we didn't have these done when our other little ferret was still with us.

- Mary M.

Josh does photos for my daughters school. This is our first year and we're so excited about the outcome! The photos are super fun, not your regular boring school photo. He did a great job capturing each kid's personality and has been great to work with. If I have any complaints it would be that there are too many great pics to choose from! Thanks for the great experience Josh!

- Rebecca M.

Having worked with Josh on my wedding, personal portfolio and my apparel line - I can say with confidence that his work is crisp, professional, creative, unique, flattering, memorable and fresh! From start to finish, Josh takes pride in his work. Being the perfectionist that I am, I have found that he is willing to meet and exceed the clients' expectations. I appreciate and respect his mutual attention to detail, as well as the plethora of creativity he brings to every shoot. He sets the bar high for photographers!

- Sarah B.

I recently took my dogs for a photo session with Josh. The pictures are amazing. He really captured their personalities (despite the fact that it didn't seem like they were giving him much personality to work with at the time). Josh is very talented.

-John D.

I met Josh for the first time several years ago when I hired him to take a picture of my dog Nelly. He was great with both me and the dog, so much fun and so talented. The pictures he printed for me perfectly captured the personality of my best friend and are still hanging in my home and office. I looked him up and went back 2 years ago to take pictures of 3 dogs together, that was a real challenge and he did a great job. The quality of his processing and print work is second to none. I got married last year I asked him to do the photography, it felt like I had a personal friend doing the photography, he really enjoys and cares about people and it comes across in the wedding pictures. I have referred friends and colleagues to him for family portraits and they have been equally happy. Over the years I have watched his innovation and creativity and would not dream of using any other professional photographer.
I am currently saving my pennies to have him do a one-of-kind Wetplate portrait, I have seen his show, these are amazing photographs, true art work.

- Olivia W.

Josh is an extremely talented photographer. He has taken incredible images of my art that have been shown in the media all over the world. I have worked with him for years and he is simply the best photographer I have worked with.

-Beth K.

I'm a regular at K9 Loft and recently took my dog there for a photo shoot session with Josh. The pictures were amazing! He set up his studio at the K9 Loft store in Pasadena and I spent 30 minutes with him taking all kinds of pictures. The were unlike any dog photos I have ever taken before. Really unique and just beautiful. I was looking for a good photographer to take pics of me and my dog for the longest time but all the ones I came across looked so cheesy. Josh really knows how to capture that special moment. When he returns to K9 Loft I will definitely do another set of pics with him.

-Erin K.

Josh took some amazing pictures of our siberian husky a few weeks ago. I had been admiring his pictures at K9 loft in sherman oaks for some time. I often see emails that he's doing sessions here in LA and decided to hop on one of them as a gift to my boyfriend. We took our Siberian in on a Sunday and Josh got some really incredible pictures. He was personable and fun to be around for the hot sweaty session and Vox did great. We just ordered our pictures. I've already recommended him to a friend to contact to get pictures of his little girl taken.

- Dawn M., Van Nuys, CA

Really, Josh does the best portraits I have ever seen. He captures the essence of the people he photographs. Each year, Realms hires him for school photos - and I can see why every time I see the results. Definitely, definitely hire this guy!

Christine D., Salt Lake City, UT

Josh is creative and innovative. I grew up with the standard family portrait. Everyone in a row. Josh finds and shows what is important about people so the portraits have a real sense of who each member of the family is--while still connecting the group. He is like the horse whisperer of portraiture.

Tess H., Lehi, UT

Josh has been taking my family pictures for eight years. I am so impressed that the photos come out fresh and original EVERY YEAR! He has an amazing way of getting natural, unique pictures of kids, A great, original artist stands out among the sea of "ok." Josh is the real deal..

Gay R.Salt Lake City, UT

I've had my portrait done many times in my life. They have always done the job of being a good likeness. Josh has somehow taken my image a step further in that he has captured who I am inside as well. Josh is fun, energetic, and a professional. Give him a try for your next sitting, I'm sure you will be as pleased with the outcome as I am.

R U. Salt Lake City, UT.

Josh is as good as it gets. I started noticing his photographs of dogs in vet offices around the valley. He captured the essence of "dog" like no other. I set up a sitting for my dogs immediately and was overjoyed by the results. I have since hired him for his expertise in not only photography but web design, print media, and overall creative input while starting my business. I would recommend him to anyone.

Lauren F., Salt Lake City, UT

A friend of mine bought me a gift certificate good for 1 session with Josh. He photographs everything from pets to families to food. He's got a very unique style that simply stands out. We decided to drive out to his studio in Utah to get the full experience even though he comes out to L.A. every so often. I emailed Josh and had no problem setting a date/time that worked for everyone. After a very cold sleep deprived 24 hr roundtrip drive I can still say it was worth it. Josh is an all around great person. He even suggested local food/sites for us to see. As a photographer he was super friendly, informative and patient. My dog was trying to runaway and hide for a good while. He brought out several toys and even a blanket to put her at ease. He even changed the backdrop cuz he said some dogs freak out with too much white. Who'd have known? I love my dog and would never have even thought about having a professional take pictures of her but i'm so glad I did :) It's a unique gift to give/receive not to mention a very memorable experience :D I'd totally book him again in the future. - Laura L., I want to believe Beverly Hills, CA Oh I have been remiss at posting this rec! Josh was recommended to us through a wedding planner in Park City. We wanted a great, high energy creative talent to shoot our daughters destination wedding at Amelia Island in Florida. Josh traveled to Florida, shot the entire days events and absolutely captured the majic of a very very special day in our lives! He connected with all of our family and friends and left us with images of the wedding that are spectacular! My only regret is that I didn't have him shoot the rehearsal dinner! As a side note; Josh has just shot our daughter, her husband and their new baby - can hardly wait to see how these turn out! I highly recommend Josh Blumental for personal or commercial photography! -Kathy L. Athens, GA Josh was so fun to work with. He was so patient with my puppy and got incredible shots. I'm so excited. Can't wait to get more when Gus is full grown. - Melissa B. VALLEY VILLAGE, CA I just worked with Josh for the first time a few weeks ago. I booked a session for my fussy cattle dog, Layla, hoping for a few good shots out of the bunch. Josh was prompt, professional, and fantastic with Layla. She's a tricky little dog and was a little on the grouchy side for our session. Josh worked with her in such a relaxed manner with positive, laid-back energy that Layla was able to let her guard down and he was able to capture many fantastic moments. Now my only problem is deciding which prints I want! I highly recommend Josh's photography services! - Jarrett A. LA, CA

Josh's work is truly singular! We love looking at our own images, but we also find ourselves checking out everyone else's pictures on your website! Looking at your work is like listening to a great song that hits you in your heart. They are more than just pretty pictures, it's a visceral experience. Working with you to produce images for our new website was a pleasure. You really are not confined by how "things should be" with lighting/model/product. You seemed to just let them be and find a way to capture the essence of our product. I felt that there was a perfect balance of expert suggestion and listening to what we wanted. Thank you for your amazing work and your prompt attention to our needs. Heidi O'Connor Industrialized Nation LLC www.inclinepro.com

Josh's pictures of my children take my breath away every time I look at them! I couldn't be more pleased with the quality, beauty and look of the photos taken by Josh. Josh's innovative and modern photographs captured the essence and the personalities of my children and thanks to Josh's unique and creative presentation, now everyone can see my kids as I do.Michele Christiansen (Judge & Mom)

Josh is a true gem... I discovered Josh as a celebrated wedding photographer + we were lucky enough to have him shoot our beautiful wedding....with 2 cameras simultaneously the entire night, while smiling - I might add! But since Josh is an absolute PLEASURE to work with, goes ABOVE + BEYOND the call of duty, is RELIABLY punctual + can make the simplest of subjects look totally UNBELIEVABLE -- I have decided to use him for other personal + business projects. Coming from a total perfectionist, where presentation is everything - I trust Josh entirely!Sarah Tomson Beyer (Entrepreneurial yogini) www.flowmotionstyle.com

HOLY !$@%# @&#*@*%!!!!!!!!!!!!! And you can quote me on that. Josh, these are amazing. I want to cry!! I don't know how I'm going to pick. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Beth Greene (Graphic Designer & Mom) http://bethgreendesign.com

I want to be you!MJ Morgan (photograher & dad) www.mjmorganphoto.com

Okay, so I should have actually taken the time to look at your website before coming in. GREAT stuff! You are the "real deal" in a town where so few are (Los Angeles). I should have at least read your bio to quiz you on your life.Michael Hanel (TV producer and doggie parent)

You can shoot anything and make it look amazing. Seriously!Amanda Sosa Stone (referring to a moldy cheese image) - Photographer Consultant http://sosastone.com

My Dad, who was an artist and a professor of art, said 'It's not what you put in, it's knowing what to leave out." I think your images speak to that. Karen Novotny Tischer, Photographer http://karennovotny.com

Your beautiful images have been instrumental in my getting lots of national and intl. exhibitions--thank you!!Beth Krensky (artist & art professor) http://bethkrensky.shawnrossiter.com

Dear Josh, It has been just about two years ago that you came to up to Park City to photograph me and my dogs, Lucy and Nell. How life has changed...and you, my friend had a part. I used on the the photos of Nell and I...me in bare feet sitting on the floor with Nellie giving me a big kiss as my Match.com photo. It caught the eye of the most wonderful man with whom I now share my life. He now carries that photo with him when works takes him from home. Then there is Lucy. At the time you photographed her she was 15. We enjoyed another year together, then at age 16 her body just wore out. Now the photos you took remind me of that spirit that was so uniquie to my little back and white girl! So life goes on....A new man, two new dogs and two new cats join Nell and I on our journey. Hope all is well with you and yours. Thanks for everything, Annie

Josh’s patented "Aversion Therapy Program" helped me get over most of my passive/aggressive inclinations. However, I still do not like butt plugs.Matt Hobson-Rohrerhobsonrohrer@gmail.com
