University Photographer
Biography
What do I do here at Seattle University:
Yosef crafts and directs a visual narrative that captures Seattle U’s story and supports the university’s core values, branding, reputation ideals and educational experience. This includes visuals for top-tear marketing and advertising materials representing all Seattle U schools/colleges, admissions, athletics, and internal departments. You can find much of his work on the online Marketing Imagery archive he recently built at seattleuniversity.photoshelter.com.
Favorite vacation spot:
Yosemite National Park, the North Shore of Hawaii or pretty much anywhere in Ghana. Ghana is such a beautiful country. And as a lover of the outdoors, camping with breath taking views in the Sierra Nevada’s or on the beaches in Hawaii is hard to beat.

Favorite Sports Team:
Seattle Super Sonics
