Josh Geelen

Josh brings an infectious energy and a distinct style to every photoshoot or film set. Specializing in lifestyle and portraiture, his work is celebrated for its bright, polished, and deeply emotive qualities. His ability to connect on a human level—whether he’s directing celebrities, athletes, or everyday people—results in images that resonate with authenticity.

His portfolio reads like a who’s who of top brands, including R.M. Williams, Facebook, Whoop, Lululemon, ASICS, AUDI, Porsche, TikTok, Vodafone, Coles, Gillette, and Tourism SA. From his roots in street and travel photography to leading high-profile commercial projects, Josh’s journey is a testament to his unwavering passion, enthusiasm, and skill.

Josh’s personal work is of a wonderfully lackadaisical yet deliberate snapshot aesthetic. Reminiscent of early colour film travel photography, his work has nods to the styles of Vivian Maier, William Eggleston, Martin Parr & Stephen Shore.

Josh’s journey started with a basic point-and-shoot camera on a trip through the U.S. and Canada when he was 18. He vowed to upgrade for his next adventure, and after five years and six continents, his love for street and travel photography was cemented. He graduated with a Bachelor of Media from The University of Adelaide, turned down a marketing job offer, and jumped into freelancing full-time—something he wishes he’d done sooner.

Outside of photography, Josh is a passionate cook, a bedroom DJ, an eager traveler, and a record collector. He loves diving into challenging situations that push him to grow both personally and professionally.
