Joshua’s first encounter with a camera was back in high school in 2007 when he joined the yearbook committee. Throughout the year, he took the lead in capturing photos of various school events including spirit week, sporting events, and prom night. Mr. Kelly, the English teacher and yearbook advisor, recognized Joshua’s talent and asked if he had ever considered pursuing photography as a profession. Joshua replied no. Ten years later, after settling into a 9-to-5 job, he finally bought his first camera, a Canon Rebel T2i, and began chasing his passion for photography.

Eben Dente - E De

Eben Dente is not just your average photographer; he is an artist fueled by a deep passion for storytelling through his camera lens.

What began as a simple hobby has evolved into a compelling pursuit of self-expression. His photography is a sophisticated interplay with moments in time, where each shutter click transcends mere image capture to become a preserved fragment of life’s beauty, immortalized for future generations.

Guided by the words of Helen Keller, "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched—they must be felt with the heart," Eben approaches every project with the responsibility to honor both his subject and the emotions they embody. This philosophy shapes his work, transforming each photograph into a heartfelt narrative that resonates beyond the frame.
