Josh Anon (San Francisco, CA, USA) has been a nature photographer for over 18 years, starting before entering high school in Erie, PA. However, his interest in photography started when he received his first Kodak 110 camera at the ripe old age of 4. Camera in hand, he received a BS in computer science from Northwestern University in Evanston, IL.After graduating, Josh started working at Pixar Animation Studios in Emeryville, California. There, he worked on The Incredibles, Ratatouille, Up, Toy Story 3, and more. At Pixar, he worked as a Camera and Staging Artist (cinematographer), a Linux and OS X software developer, and more. In 2012, he left Pixar for Lytro, where he worked as a Senior Product Manager on projects including camera hardware and building and shipping the Lytro Mobile App. In late 2013, he left Lytro and began working on starting a feature film development company. Josh has also written a number of software programs including FlipBook for iOS, which has had millions of downloads.Josh has traveled the globe searching for the next great picture, be it 100 feet deep on the Great Barrier reef, on a cold and windy beach in the south Atlantic, or in the Arctic Circle. His images, represented by the prestigious Jaynes Gallery, have appeared in a variety of galleries, calendars, and other publications, including The Smithsonian, The San Diego Natural History Museum, Nature's Best, Photo Media, The Kiteboarder, and more.
