Behind the Scenes with Joshua Jensen-Nagle

In this video, Joshua discusses his life as a photographer and artist. He reminisces about his childhood days spent along the New Jersey shore, and how this time impacted his largest series to date, Endless Summer. He is filmed photographing from different vantage points, often in a helicopter to capture his arresting birds-eye views.

In his early work, Joshua utilized polaroid film and masterfully experimented with the latest in digital photography equipment, working with complex layering techniques involving paint, smoke, postcards, cut-outs in glass jars, and even glitter in fish tanks of food colouring.  In the film, he takes you through some of his more recent series, including Sunsets and Fireworks where he rephotographs his sunset imagery with fireworks being lit off in the foreground.  He also walks the viewer through Pieces of You where he focuses his lens on small components of other artists, designers and architects work, glorifying it in large scale and explains his drive to push himself to experiment beyond the traditional style of documentary photography, using his camera as a means to capture a feeling.
