Chicago, IL

As a storyteller you find yourself in different places, in different situations, and with different people constantly.

My stories started innocently enough in Miami where I was born to wonderful Cuban immigrants. I learned my craft at the University of Florida where I earned a degree in journalism and studied photojournalism and videography. I covered music, local issues, and sports for publications like The Gainesville Sun, Reax magazine, and The Fine Print where I was a contributor when it won Best New Publication from Campus Progress.

My time covering music at UF lead me to traveling the country with local Gainesville band Morningbell after I graduated to shoot a documentary that I'm currently editing. 

To learn more about documentary I worked as the Digital Arts and Publishing Intern at the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University. I assisted in the producetion and marketing of such books as Iraq | Perspectives, Colors of Confinement, In This Timeless Time, and One Place. In addition, I co-edited the festival program for the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival.  

I currently find myself newly married and searching for more stories in Chicago. If you have a story or adventure shoot me an email at jmoraphoto@gmail.com

As a storyteller you constantly find yourself in different places, different situations, and with different people.

My stories started innocently enough in Miami, FL where I was born to wonderful Cuban immigrants. I learned my craft at the University of Florida (UF) where I earned a degree in journalism and studied photojournalism and videography. I covered music, local issues, and sports for publications like the Gainesville Sun, Reax magazine, and the Fine Print where I was a contributor when it won Best New Publication from Campus Progress.

After I graduated, I shot a documentary that I'm currently editing. My time covering music at UF lead me to traveling the country with local Gainesville band Morningbell to film their tour.

I learned more about documentary as the digital arts and publishing intern at the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University. I assisted in the production and marketing of such books as Iraq | Perspectives, Colors of Confinement, In This Timeless Time, and One Place. In addition, I co-edited the festival programs for the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival.

My journey through the country led me to Chicago, IL where I was the editor of Concierge Preferred magazine. We offered expert insight for better travel. In addition to the magazine, we created the best visitor-related products in the Chicago market to give visitor-oriented businesses, concierges, and tourists better options.

I’m currently living in Pittsburgh, PA where I’m the communications manager at Manchester Bidwell Corporation, a non-profit focused on providing arts education to at-risk youth and career training to adults-in-transition. If you have a story or adventure, shoot me an email at joelcmora@gmail.com.
