What stands out to me in Joe Perri’s work is his portraiture—raw, intimate, and full of quiet power. He captures people with such presence, letting their expressions and the light do all the talking. There’s no gloss, just honesty, making every face feel like a story.
You can join Joe at his upcoming portraiture workshop (details below).
Until next time,

A big thank you to Santa Fe Workshops for supporting PHOTOSNACK.
Check out their The Narrative Portrait workshop with Joe Perri.
Traditionally, a portrait is a single frame—a frozen glimpse meant to capture the soul of a person. But portraiture can stretch beyond that still moment, unfolding into a series of images that weave a richer story. These glimpses become extensions of the self, revealing not just who someone is, but how they exist within the rhythm of life.
Spend a transformational week in Santa Fe discovering the photographic portrayal of one’s personality and essence. Become immersed in the storytelling power of photography, learning from acclaimed editorial and documentary photographer Joe Perri in his workshop The Narrative Portrait produced by Santa Fe Workshops. Emphasizing the use of sequencing, rhythm, and variety, Joe guides participants beyond the constraints of a single portrait to build emotional and thematic connections that resonate on a deeper level.
