Created by Josh Rasmussen, a 25-year-old senior and communication major at Boise State University, Providence Photography offers a well-rounded perspective, bringing experience from multiple arenas of photography to the table. Rasmussen spends a year working at the Coeur d'Alene Press editing images and designing pages. During his stay with The Press, he picks up valuable knowledge from staff photographers and sees two of his photos published in color.
During his stint as the Media Manager for Boise State's student-run newspaper (The Arbiter) in 2009, Rasmussen oversees all photography and digital media. His authority is second only to the editor-in-chief and he takes responsibility for training photographers, producers and the photo editor. In addition, he writes stories and shoots photos for the sports section. In March of 2009, Rasmussen sits on the court through six games over a two-day period shooting the first and second rounds of the men's, NCAA tournament in Boise. Also from the collegiate front, while working on his Associate of Science Degree at North Idaho College (2006-2008), he advances through the ranks of the Sentinel, NIC's student-run newspaper, ultimately becoming the Managing Editor in 2007. The Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) recognizes Rasmussen with an award for an article he writes, and the Idaho Press Club issues him an award for page design.
Under his leadership, the Sentinel wins a number of prestigious awards including the following: 2007-2008 Pacemaker Award; first place in Best of Show -- New York City College Media Advisers Apple Award; first place in Best of Show -- Region 10 SPJ Mark of Excellence Award and first place in Best of Show -- Washington D.C. Associated Collegiate Press National Convention. The Sentinel places first in Best of Show at the Portland Associated Collegiate Press National Convention while he holds down the position of Sports Editor, and secures first place in Best All-Around Newspaper at the Washington D.C. SPJ National Convention while he writes for the news and sports sections.
Rasmussen travels to, and shoots photos in many cities both domestically and internationally, conquering the challenges associated with shooting in a variety of climates and cultures. He takes pride in remaining motivated and organized, maintaining a professional business style and staying ready to tackle all of your most-important photographic needs.
