Josh is a London based artist specialised in Fashion Photography and Filmmaking and a member of the British Association of Photographers

His interest for the performative and theatrical aspects of Fashion led him to do a Masters degree in Fashion Photography at the London College of Fashion right after achieving a Bachelors degree in Designing for Performance at the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design.  

Josh's style ranges from cinematic and classic to theatrical and experimental in both still photography and filmmaking, working with fashion films, music videos, promos, fashion editorials, campaigns and designer's look books.

His work aims to explore the merging of fashion with story telling in a creative, engaging and thought provoking way.
