Working with Joe was the kick in the a** | needed all along. From energy alignment, understanding myself as an artist, what I am drawn to and why, and what makes me unique - it's been a wild ride of self awareness, eye opening insights, endless inspiration, and a confidence catapult.
JOE GOT ME! He took the time to listen, acknowledging my frustrations, helped me tune out the "noise," and most importantly celebrated my authentically weird wacky talented self. As we worked together, I found Joe's expertise as a producer and rep with years of experience in the industry - coupled with his work as an energy worker - packed so much value into an affordable cost, and realistic manageable timeframe to reach my goals.
Speaking of tangible outcomes....
We worked on a website edit which pulled from my 20 year archive of making images, better positioning me to appeal to commercial clients
Curated a very intentional contact list aligned with my goals and work
Launched an email campaign announcing a test shoot and site relaunch which resulted in a 46% open rate in the first week (WOW!)
A solid bump in site traffic and unique visitors
Landing and producing a commercial auto lifestyle shoot in July, leveraging my skills from working client side, and pulling in local, incredibly talented resources....THE BEST!

I had the pleasure of working with Joe during a period when I was exploring a fresh new direction for my business. Through some insightful exercises and deeply meaningful questions, Joe helped me regain my vision and imagine a safe space and level of support I want to offer my clients.
Joe helped me to frame my perspective by looking back at the history of my business and integrating the many significant tools I have acquired over the years into my brand. Joe is very passionate, creative and loves what he does. His guidance was very helpful as I was beginning to evolve and recharge my business. Thanks, Joe! I really believe he wants you to see your true potential. And that is rare.
Life Coach creative DNA
Photography Professional - Fashion/Beauty Bill Diodato
A photographer dreams of having an agent or coach who is creative, hard working, smart and above all, trust-worthy. In the 16 + years I have known and worked with Joe I have found this to be the cornerstone of our professional relationship. Joe has come through every single time and has been a career building coach for the talent he has represented over the years. Simply said, if you are a photographer and are lucky enough to have him as your agent or coach you have arrived.
However if you are a photographer and need an exclusive agent unequivocally, Joe, should be at the top of the list. He is one of the best agents working in NYC today.

Joe Lombardo is a passionate creator/ advisor with an excellent eye for talent. He helped me strengthen my website, profoundly affected/edited my video work, and helped design my promotional materials over the past eight months. He is full of ideas, always supportive, and his enthusiasm is absolutely contagious. He becomes incredibly invested in the success of all his coaching clients and I am happily still one of them.
you are the blueprint.

In my role as an artist, I often find myself deeply engrossed in the creative process, sometimes overlooking the essential aspect of marketing my work. After all, what is the value of art if it remains unseen? To address this, I sought the guidance of an experienced professional, Joe Lombardo, with whom I have had a longstanding association.
I placed my trust in Joe to assist me in navigating the complex terrain of presenting my work to a wider audience, engaging potential clients, and establishing my professional 'brand'—a concept I had not previously given adequate consideration. Not only did he facilitate a smooth and graceful journey through this landscape, but he also identified and helped me to remove obstacles I didn't know were there, resulting in opening up new opportunities for my creative potential..
I wholeheartedly recommend Joe Lombardo as an invaluable creative coach and consultant.

Working with Joe has been a breath of fresh air - it is hard to find one person who so selflessly invests in your well being to be better at what you do.
Coach, guide, mentor and cheerleader all in one.
Joe comes armed with over 30 years of experience as a rep and producer in the creative industry and has built relationships in the community. His approach to cultivating relationships, test shoots and working on projects is truly unique. He is a powerhouse when it comes to connecting people and identifying resources that help one move forward with their career goals. He sees potential where one thinks it does not exist.
I started working with Joe in March of 2023 during a difficult place in my life where expressing myself in my work felt forced. His spiritual guidance and caring energy have helped me find myself once again and grow as a creative in a short span. His eye to details, website build and methodical approach to marketing is absolutely unique and not a one size fits all - with Joe you get honest feedback and specific next steps unique to the path one chooses to explore. He lifts you up and is the strongest advocate one can find.
As my son sometimes says, only Joe can be so direct and firm with you :). I am so grateful to have Joe as a mentor, coach and friend and highly recommend him."
