Joseph Foster is a street photographer born in New York City in 1964 who graduated from the School of Visual Art in 1990 and transitioned to photographing with an iPhone in 2010, developing a passion for capturing
candid moments of everyday life. Using a Fuji X100V and a Rolleicord TLR film camera, seeks raw, unadulterated moments in diverse cultures and urban landscapes. He documents fleeting instances of human connection, isolation, and the subtle narratives that unfold in public spaces, respecting the authenticity of the moment. He consciously chooses to forgo post-processing beyond basic file management, preserving the natural
light, spontaneous composition, and raw emotion on a passerby’s face. This commitment to in-camera capture ensures the immediacy and visceral impact of his photographs, inviting viewers to connect with the subjects on a human level. His travels explore the universal human experience through specific cultural contexts, capturing the shared tapestry of human existence. These photographs serve as a testament to the beauty and intricacy of the world, captured in its most authentic form.
