Joy was born and raised in Washington, DC. It was during her undergraduate matriculation at Temple University that she picked up her first 35mm film camera as she began documenting street culture in Philadelphia, Pa. One exposure after another, it's been a love story ever since. Currently working toward the culmination of an MFA, Joy is based in Washington, DC and available for hire.
