Darren Joshua Leonardi ​

Photographer/Storyteller 

​

Before I ever picked up a camera, I spent over a decade immersed in the landscape industry. Across five states and more than a dozen companies, I wore every hat imaginable—project manager, designer, salesperson, and business developer. I’ve worked in the private and public sectors, selling and building projects that ranged from intimate garden retreats to sprawling multi-million-dollar estates.

​

Those years taught me more than just the technical aspects of design and construction. They taught me the value of storytelling—how the spaces we create shape lives, foster connections, and inspire joy.

​

Today, as a professional photographer and content creator, I bring that same passion and understanding to my work. My mission is to help architects, designers, and builders share their craft with the world in a way that’s authentic, compelling, and deeply connected to their audience.

​

What sets me apart? I speak the language of design. I’ve been where you are—on job sites, in client meetings, and at networking events. I understand the challenges you face in building not just spaces but also a brand that stands out in a crowded market.

​

My work goes beyond the lens. I’m here to help you transition from the traditional handshake economy to the attention economy, where a single image can be the difference between being overlooked or remembered. Together, we’ll create visuals and stories that resonate, inspire, and drive connection.
