JOSEPH DEISS

The son of a winemaker, Joseph Deiss grew up in the Napa Valley. It was at the age of 12 that he processed his first sheet of film and has been an avid
photographer ever since. He initially studied Physics and Music at University of California, Santa Barbara before moving on to University of California, Berkeley, where he received a B.A. in Architecture. Later, Deiss attended the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles but then moved on to California State University at Northridge where he received a B.A. in Art.

Joseph Deiss prefers working with large format view cameras in making his images. For the last six years, Deiss has turned his attentions to the computer as a tool for print making. Working with the growing medium with utter dedication, Deiss' archival ink jet prints have finally reached a level of quality worthy of Fine Art.
