Sobre el Artista


Josh's photographs have appeared all over New York in galleries and exhibitions, as well as on billboards and in subway stations. Whether it is the chaos of homelessness, celebrity, propulsive success or projected sentiment; capturing the individual, their unique survival strengths and the sudden discovery of calm in the center of personal storms drives Josh's portraiture. His clients are indie films, business leaders, Broadway blockbusters, screen stars and large commercial enterprises. With an eye toward social justice, Josh created the series, Becoming Visible, focused on New York City's fastest growing homeless population, transgender teenagers. In 2010, the first of these images premiered at the Robert Miller Gallery and have since appeared in galleries and museums all over the world. The series garnered the 2010 Photo Philanthropy award and was a centerpiece of the inaugural PhotoVille, now an annual photo event on the Brooklyn waterfront. Josh lives and works on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and is a graduate of Boston University's School for the Arts and The International Center of Photography. 1963 Born in Boston 1981- 1985 Boston University School for the Arts 1987 Venice Biennale - The King Stag, Andrei Serban, Director 1988 Paris Festival D'Autumne - Alcestis, Robert Wilson, director 1989 The Nederlander Organization, NYC 1991 Pace Theatrical, NYC 1995 Atlantic Theatre Company, Executive Director, NYC 1998 The Showtime Network, Director of Still Photography 2005 The International Center of Photography Currently lives and works in New York City Photography Exhibitions 2017 My Shot, Portraits from Hamilton The Diane Rosenstein Gallery, Los Angeles PhotoVille Brooklyn, NY United Photo Industries Brooklyn, NY 2016 Portraits from Hamilton The Public Theater Dialogue with the Artist Gerald Peters Gallery 2015 The Spectrum of Sexuality The Jewish Museum of Florida (Miami) The Spectrum of Sexuality The Baltimore Museum The Spectrum of Sexuality The Charter Oak Center (Hartford) 2014 Becoming Visible The Sherwin Miller Museum, Tulsa, OK A Little More Alive Projections - content and design, Kansas City Repertory 2013 Becoming Visible The Jewish Museum of Art in Philadelphia, PA Becoming Visible The Charter Oak Cultural Center, Hartford CT FSA and the New Social Realism Robert Miller Gallery, 524 W. 26th Street - 9/17- 10/27 Beauty in Portraiture Martin Art Gallery, Allentown, PA - 10/3 - 11/10 The Spectrum of Sexuality Hebrew Union College Museum, 4th & Mercer 9/6 -6/28 Mr. Joy Projections - content and design, Lincoln Center Theater 2012 Becoming Visible (platinum & palladium) PHOTOVILLE, Brooklyn, NY PROOF: Media for Social Justice Splashlight Studios, NYC Nude Night Tampa, FL Splash with a Twist Gallery Bar, NYC 2011 Face to Face Gerald Peters Gallery, Santa Fe NM Provocation Powerhouse Arena, Brooklyn, NY Changing World / En Foco John Jay College Artists of the Hamptons Gerald Peters Gallery, New York 2010 Becoming Visible Robert Miller Gallery, NYC Sherry Lehman Brothers K
