Raised in Loveland, Colorado, it was on trips to places like Rocky Mountain National Park that Joshua Hardin discovered a passion for photography. He has since dedicated his life to looking for the best light to photograph the world’s peaks and plains; forests and deserts; rivers and coasts. Josh is the publisher of the book Classic Colorado covering the state’s diverse landscapes and wildlife. He is currently working on a project documenting state parks in all 50 of the United States, with a book pending in 2026. From 2012-2023, Josh served as Photo Editor at Flagship Publishing, producer of Colorado Life, Utah Life, Nebraska Life and Maui No Ka ‘Oi Magazines where he photographed a wide variety of stories and managed a stable of hundreds of freelance creatives. In addition to book projects, he is still a frequent contributor to regional magazines.
