Joseph Large is an Emmy-nominated filmmaker, photographer, FAA-certified drone pilot, and expedition storyteller with more than two decades of experience documenting some of the world's most remote and demanding environments.

Driven by a lifelong passion for exploration, Joseph believes the most meaningful adventures happen beyond the well-traveled path. Throughout his career, he has worked in extreme environments where adaptability, teamwork, and respect for both nature and local cultures are essential. His background combines technical expertise, creative vision, and expedition logistics, allowing him to capture authentic stories while operating safely and responsibly in challenging terrain.
Joseph has served as a drone pilot and cinematographer on productions recognized with multiple Primetime Emmy Award nominations and has earned two Guinness World Records through his work in professional drone operations. His experience spans high-altitude landscapes, remote wilderness expeditions, wildlife filmmaking, documentary production, and adventure travel across multiple continents.
His partnership with Himalaya Land Treks & Expedition is built on a shared passion for authentic adventure, cultural connection, and responsible tourism. By combining world-class expedition experiences with cinematic storytelling and photography, Joseph hopes to inspire travelers from around the globe to discover the beauty, history, and spirit of Nepal while supporting the communities that make these journeys possible.
Whether documenting a remote mountain expedition, leading a photography workshop, or simply sharing stories around a campfire after a long day on the trail, Joseph believes that every great adventure has the power to connect people, broaden perspectives, and create memories that last a lifetime.
