Joshua Woods (b. 1986, Harlem, New York) is a photographer and visual artist based between New York and Paris. His work moves between photography, fashion, Film, material construction, and Printmaking, challenging fixed ideas of Black life and representation while drawing from the textures of everyday culture, memory, and ritual.

Woods first gained recognition with his self-funded photographic journal of Senegal, published in The New Yorker. He has become known for a practice that blends social observation with a refined visual language, creating images and objects that invite deeper reflection on identity and place.

A British Fashion Council New Wave Creative, Woods has produced editorial and commercial work for Vogue, W Magazine, Harper's Bazaar, Dazed, AnOther Magazine, Wall Street Journal, M Le Monde, The New York Times T Magazine, Chanel, Gucci, Lanvin, Wales Bonner, Ralph Lauren, and others. In 2025 he collaborated with The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Costume Institute for the exhibition Superfine, creating portraits of the public and hosting a community gathering that centered on shared authorship and collective presence.

His ongoing projects include a long term body of work in Harlem that traces personal and communal histories while exploring transformation, preservation, and belonging.
