Each month, Shop In RI Magazine profiles one member of “The Dream Team,” a weekly networking group that meets in Smithfield. This month, we feature Josh Edenbaum of Josh Edenbaum Photography in Narragansett.
Josh got the photo “bug,” while working on his high school’s yearbook. That was the moment Josh found his passion and calling. After graduating from Southeastern Massachusetts University (now, UMass/Dartmouth), with a Bachelor’s degree, Josh worked for another photographer for four years, before embarking on his own business.
For more than three decades, Josh has compiled a broad portfolio of work. He not only creates corporate headshots and product lines, Josh’s biggest foray currently centers on construction photography. He said that companies are looking to highlight their progress on their particular project—from conception to completion.
This is one aspect of his work that drives him to create those enduring images for his clients.
“It’s truly special to witness a project start from the groundbreaking, where dignitaries are shoveling sand, to seeing the finished product,” said Edenbaum. He recently worked on the I-195 project for nearly seven years. “I watched the bridge being built in Quonset, to it being implemented Downtown. Capturing each of these important moments as they happened. Many companies want to have this done for that purpose.”
Josh’s ideal clients are those in manufacturing businesses, who do not mind paying a little more for quality work. He is also looking to help businesses that are unveiling a new product line.
As for joining the group, Josh credits fellow member, Owen Head, for inviting him to a meeting. Josh said that having a large group of people looking to help each other is a blessing. He attended similar groups, but came away feeling less than impressed.
