Joy Asico is a celebrity and lifestyle photographer in Washington, DC.

DC has been so great to me over the past couple of years. I’ve been able to grow my passion for photography into a business and I wouldn’t have been able to do it without a little help from amazing people along the way.

One such influencer is Ivory Zorich from the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA). She was one of the first to hire me to cover her events. Ivory has gotten me access to photographing all types of people in the film industry – from actors in front of the camera to directors behind it.

I learned so much about the industry from all the wonderful experiences she’s provided me. She is so great to work with and so good at what she does. It’s people like Ivory Zorich that make me love what I do. I am absolutely grateful and humbled by all the incredible opportunities.
