For more than two decades, Joseph L. Murphy has had the pleasure of meeting and connecting with people from all walks of life through photography. He has photographed presidents and heads of state, traversed the winding alleyways of the Fes Medina in Morocco, photographed the sprawling countryside and people that make up Argentina and covered events that have defined the U.S. Most recently, Murphy’s travels have taken him to Cambodia, Mexico, China, Vietnam and Ecuador.

He has spent the past 20 years specializing in agriculture photography for multiple organizations, publications and marketing projects.

A graduate of the University of Iowa, Murphy determined at an early age that his love of photography would shape his vision for life.
