Joe Kraus

Hello, my name is Joe Kraus (he/him, and locally known as Photo Joe) and I’m currently a Media and Communication major with a concentration in Screen Media. I chose this concentration because of my passion for photography and interest in film. I have a deep background in sports photography, having done it for Arcadia Athletics for the past three years, as well as video camera operation for a minor league baseball team back home. I would love to work in sports doing either photography or camera operation, no matter the sport or location, and I am very hopeful to work abroad or internationally one day. My hobbies outside of photography include watching sports and movies, listening to music, thrifting, donating blood, and making terrible dad jokes.

Titles are hard to choose. They represent the work by being unique and accurate. I find it ironic that a photo essay needs a name, because photography is used to describe things and feelings without words. So far, I have come up with the titles, “Why DIII, a...
