Artist Bio
Aditya Joshi is an Indian-Australian fine art and fashion editorial photographer based in Brisbane, Australia. With an academic background in engineering, he developed a precise understanding of light, colour, and composition—foundations that shaped his distinctive photographic signature. His work draws inspiration from the chiaroscuro tradition of painting, using light and shadow as expressive forces rather than mere technical devices. Rejecting the sterile perfection of digital imagery, Aditya embraces the raw textures of film aesthetics, often incorporating grain and imperfection to evoke a sense of authenticity. This sensibility weaves through his diverse practice, spanning modern art, documentary, street, and fashion editorials—always anchored by a focus on the human figure and objects rendered with emotional depth and presence.
His approach to photography has earned him national and international recognition, including honours from the Australian Photography and Capture Magazines.

Artist Statement
Aditya is drawn to what is felt just before it is seen — where form dissolves into suggestion, and colour becomes emotion made visible. His photographs speak softly but resonate deeply, through fragments, echoes, and the elegance of the ordinary.
His work exploits the expressive interplay of light, shadow, and colour to uncover form, emotion, and visual harmony in the everyday. This is often shaped by his use of unique compositions and perspectives, driven by an intentional choice of focal lengths.
His photographs often linger on the peripheral, the easily missed — a fleeting gesture, the curve of a surface, the way light rests on a wall. Instead of telling the viewer what to see, Aditya offers a space for looking slowly — for noticing, feeling, and finding something personal within the frame.
