Brothers and photographers John and Joseph Hong were born and raised in Korea. One of their biggest professional influences has been their father, who was a photojournalist in Korea as well as the owner of a fine-art gallery. Both brothers John and Joseph initially kept photography as a hobby and pursued careers in medicine. However, their passion for photography grew larger as they freelanced for newspapers and acquired professional jobs in photography. Since then, brothers partnered up and redirected their energy to photography.

Since starting John & Joseph Photography Inc, their photographs have won numerous awards from photographic associations and their work has been highlighted in multiple well-known publications. They have also photographed recognizable names, such as NBA players Doug Christie, Chris Webber, singer Rihanna, actor Sylvester Stallone, actor/boxer Antonio Tarver, NBA coach Dwane Casey, and Isaac Slade from band The Fray. Beyond photographing regularly all over United States, their work has taken them many international destinations, including Hong Kong, Indonesia, Mexico, and Fiji Islands on many occasions. John and Joseph focus on capturing unique artistic images at every session. This is evident in their consistency of producing high-end products and photos for each and every client.
