A bit about me...

Hello, my name is Josh Deakin.
​I will keep this brief and give you the key things about me since you'll know me quicker and more effectively than 20 paragraph's about me, I am sure we'll agree.
  • I live in Birmingham in the West Midlands, United Kingdom.
  • You might mistake me for a Londoner, this is because I am always in London every few weekends per month per year for Instameets and meeting friends from the London Photography Community. Hope this clears that up :P
  • I love Photography and Videography and dabble a bit in Graphics Design.
  • I have my own Instagram Ports photography portfolio, named @MrJoshDeakin.
  • I switched my Photography focus from City Photography (Mainly London City) to Portrait Photography in Oct 2018 as my focus and feelings about Portrait Photography was more profound, so I put that as my focus for Q4 2018 and into 2019. (Follow both my Instagram's for the roadmap discussions...)
  • I snap photography on my second insta with my iPhone 13 Pro,

  • I am the Founder along side @ShootwithSevi running the Portrait Instagram Community Hub named @ThePortraitMission.
  • I also run @theshootersmission featuring the best photos globally (Not Portraits) with my other fellow photographer friend @bottxsky.
  • I am a co-host on the Photography and Social Media Podcast, @GettheShotPodcast on Anchor, Spotify and other Podcasting apps!
  • I also run a second podcast named @WhatTopicPodcast with my fellow Instagram friend @Owun.Birkett. The podcast is where we talk everything from movies to tv shows to everything pop culture while with a side order of topical subject matter! - It's two good friends making cool topic listening content!​
  • I love to use Social Media for good, give back and also do amazing cool things. I have explored many areas from Photography to Podcasting to YouTube. I always love to give new things a go and opportunities to meet new people.
  • I did start a Medium author page where I was going to commit to writing articles every so often. While this is a WIP I will try to do more writing going forward.
  • I used to Co-Host on the YouTube channel, KrishnaLovesMovies.
  • I love technology, the way it works and the impact it has on day-to-day life.
