Biography
Joshua Jensen-Nagle was born and raised in New Jersey. In 1999 he came to Canada to attended Ryerson University and began to develop his distinct photographic style. Since then he has become an established artist who has exhibited internationally in museums and galleries. His works are photographs but not in the typical documentary style that we associate photography with. Jensen-Nagle's work is more reminiscent of painting than photography, he explains;“One thing I try to achieve is a painterly aspect in my work, it's how I understand photography"
Jensen-Nagle's techniques, used to achieve his unique style, include the use of expired Polaroid film,which he says gives an extraordinary colour palette and softens the image.He also paints directly on his photographs and then re-shoots them to create an image that pushes the boundaries between the mediums.
Joshua Jensen-Nagle has been featured in Photolife, National Post, Galleries West and Canadian House and Home, Canadian Art and Art in America. His works are also found in the collections of companies including Microsoft, the Hilton Hotels, Target Canada Corporation, Maple Leaf, Cirque du Soleil and Transcontinental, among others.
