About

Hey there, I'm Josie Carletta, nice to meet you! I'm a 25-year-old self-taught photographer from Indianapolis. For the longest time, I struggled with deciding my career path, but I knew it had to ignite my creative spark. After a semester at university studying nursing, I realized my true calling was in something more creatively fulfilling. While I had dabbled in film photography during high school, it wasn't until I got my hands on my first digital camera that I truly saw the potential for a career in photography. There's always room to grow and learn, but I quickly discovered a natural knack for capturing moments through my lens.

My passion for photography blossomed, particularly when I began having the opportunity to shoot live shows, starting with Mod Sun's concert a few years back. This ignited my interest in various facets of the music industry, from merchandise to management.

In recent times, I've been immersed in the festival scene, working as a merchandise vendor at events like Rolling Loud New York and Astroworld Houston, all the while squeezing in shoots between gigs. Witnessing live shows from different perspectives—whether among the crowd, in the photo pit, or at the merch tent—has been incredible as a music lover.

My ultimate aspiration? To hit the road with an artist I deeply admire and of memorialize their journey through my lens. Let's work!

Do317 partnered with Nutrl to promote their beverages in highly competitive Beer Die competitions at Indianapolis local pubs. I was lucky enough to work this event as a photographer/content creator!

Every summer, Forty5 puts on a concert series at Holliday Park. This year, they expanded into Broad Ripple Park and American Legion Mall as well. I spent my summer working as a Guest Services representative at the shows working the box office, verifying premiums, ID check, and having fun too!

Recent Work Experience

Brand Besties brought me onto this project as a content creator and brand ambassador. I feel so grateful to have represented Under Armour, Kelsey Plum, and her new PlumBerry shoe.

Throughout my years in the music industry, I have worked large scale merchandise events through The Bright Pursuit, as well as smaller events hired directly by artist/management. I love how versatile this industry allows me to be, I'm am always curious where my next event will take me!
