A Journey Through Light, Form, and Empowered Expressions Captured by the Lens.

I am Josh Nelson, a fine art nude photographer based in Tampa Bay, Florida. I specialize in natural light and studio fine art photography, capturing the essence of the human form in each frame.

Philosophy: Rooted in collaboration and empowerment, every photo shoot at Life Facsimiles is a joint endeavor. We work together to create images that are not merely representations but echo with the vitality and narrative of life itself.

Approach: Whether exploring abstract themes or capturing more traditional imagery, the goal remains the same—to create empowering narratives that resonate with the viewer.

Explore: Navigate through the galleries to experience the interplay of light, form, and narrative inherent in each photograph. If my work resonates with you, feel free to reach out for collaborations or bookings.

  • life: signifying existence, and the human experience. It encompasses all the emotions, actions, interactions, and moments that define living.

  • fac·sim·i·le: an exact copy or reproduction of something. In a broader sense, it can refer to representations or imitations of real objects or experiences.

“Life Facsimiles” symbolizes the act of capturing the essence of life's fleeting moments through photography. To create images that are more than just pictures—they are imitations of life's diverse experiences, emotions, and the inherent beauty of the human form, captured through the lens.
