“There are so many stories to be told here,” 23-year-old photographersays of his hometown Atlanta. “It’s a place full of different cultures transplanted from all over the world, mixed together with the rawness the South.”
Josiah only got into photography a couple of years ago. When we first met him in 2016 he was working as a stylist. But immersed in a city that takes in so much authentic, local style, intersecting with an era-defining music scene, it only took a friend buying him a cheap film camera for Josiah to realise he was well-placed to capture a city constantly growing and evolving.
His work, characterised by a delicate use of soft light and colour, faces away from the sprawling city, and into its suburbs, parks and forests. “I love depicting natural colour harmonies in nature, the idea of multiple realities and making art that reflects on the current state of the world,” he says. “Whatever the subject is, I'll try and frame it as beautiful or supernatural... even if it’s intrinsically not.
Across his different personal projects, editorials and portraiture of some Atlanta’s biggest names, more than anyJosiah creates, simple, beautiful imagery. “I like the idea of adding something of my own to Atlanta’s art scene and legacy,” he finishes. “I grew up here and have learned so much from the city, I want to give back the same.”
