Photographer Feature: Joshua Zirschky


“Bearing witness to the human condition… on a global scale.”

In pursuit of bearing witness to the human condition, Joshua Zirschky utilizes the strength of photography on a global scale. Moved and inspired by his in-depth studies of conflict photography at an early age, Zirschky began executing his process; capturing fragile moments and witnessing realities and lifestyles outside of his own.

While working with several non-profit organizations, Joshua has traveled the world witnessing the human condition and capturing the true colors of his subjects. Unlike many other photojournalists, he gets up close and personal with his subjects, listens to their back stories, connects with them, and at times spends several hours before even shooting one photograph. The result is mesmerizing, images full of substance and honesty, giving us the rare opportunity to look deep into the eyes of these beautiful human subjects from throughout the globe.
