Hi, I’m Josh Merzel, a photographer based in the Chicagoland area with over 10 years of experience behind the camera. While I specialize in automotive photography—working with dealerships, custom shops, and auction sites like Bring a Trailer and Hagerty—I’ve never limited myself to just one subject. In fact, one of my proudest moments was being featured in Forbes for a shoot I did of Michael Jordan’s car.

Beyond cars, I also shoot for restaurants, billboard companies, and small businesses looking to bring their brand to life through powerful visuals. I capture everything from product photos to family portraits—and yes, I do weddings, too. There’s something really special about being trusted to document those once-in-a-lifetime moments.

Photography is more than just a job for me—it's a way to connect with people and tell their stories. When I’m not working, you’ll find me spending time with my amazing wife and our two daughters. We love to travel, meet new people, and discover new places together—it’s a big part of what inspires my work.

Thanks for stopping by—I’d love to hear your story and help you tell it through photos.
