ABOUT JOE SOHM: VISIONS OF AMERICA
AMERICA’S PHOTO-HISTORIAN, Joe Sohm, has photographed as much of America as anybody alive. Joe has been published more than 1 million times in worldwide media, including: the NY/LA Times; Time; Newsweek; CNN; FOX; MSNBC; ABC; Disney; the Wall Street Journal, in films, advertising, across the internet and in his Readers Digest award winning tabletop book, “Visions of America.” In a time when Americans seem to feel bad about America, and each other, Joe Sohm has focused his lens onto subjects that remind us of what’s good about America. In his 4k drone, video, time-lapse and still photographs, we see Joe’s America – a nation that is still full of adventure, natural beauty, joy, creativity and great accomplishments.
Joe Sohm’s “Visions of America” is a 40 year, 50-state, million mile search for the images defining American Civilization on its 250th Anniversary. While each of Joe’s images tell a story, it’s the stories behind the imagery that inspires and entertains audiences across the USA in multi-media presentations at colleges, universities, trade associations and corporations. Joe is a gifted storyteller and his imagery provides the backdrop for his American Journey. In experiencing Joe’s stories and in seeing his stunning imagery, we realize that his story is ours . . . the American story. Joe’s presentations feature original music by Oscar-Grammy-Emmy winners and movie-stars including Clint Eastwood and William Shatner. Now it’s time to buckle your seatbelt and hit the road. The journey awaits you!

Spanning 40 years, he photographed the 50 states and published more than 1,000,000 times in publications such as National Geographic, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Time Magazine, as well as on CNN, ABC, PBS and MSNBC. His President Clinton photo is featured on the back-cover of his book My Life and in his Presidential Library. Sohm’s images are featured in Frederick J.

Newsweek and U.S. News and World Report featured Sohm cover images while the State Department features his work in ten embassies. In August of 2013, the LA Times ran his photograph as it lead front-page image.
In 2000, he photographed and co-created with Marianne Williamson, “Imagine – What America Could be in the 21st Century.” In 2009 he published “Visions of America – Photographing Democracy” which features Paul Theroux’s foreword. His book won a Gold (“IPPY”) and Silver Medal (“Nautilus Book Award”) and three Telly’s for music-videos based upon the book. The State Department acquired 100 of his books for diplomatic gifts for the USA Pavilion for the 2010 Shanghai World Expo.
In 2009, he also produced, photographed and wrote, “Visions of America – a Photo Symphony Concert for America.” In five sold-out concerts, Peter Nero and the Philly Pops performed the original score of Grammy-winning, Oscar nominated Roger Kellaway and the songs of Oscar & Grammy winning, Alan and Marilyn Bergman. With vocal performances by Grammy winning Patti Austin and narration by Clint Eastwood, “Visions of America Concerts” will perform with the Boston Pops throughout 2012, under the musical direction of Keith Lockhart.
