Joel DeGrand's photography is a testament to his unique perspective and ability to communicate through images. While he initially focused on landscapes, a transformative trip to Beijing in 2008 shifted his focus to capturing people in uniforms, leading to his final and most innovative series, "Iterations." This series is characterized by life-size, multimedia, and sound-activated pieces that invite viewers to experience the world through Joel's eyes. His work, such as "Window Dressing Untitled #2," showcases his skill in creating compositions that are both abstract and deeply engaging, encouraging viewers to explore their interpretations and experiences.
