Joshua Cogan is a photographer and anthropologist whose skill in environmental portraiture is unquestionable. In addition to using this talent for commercial purposes, Joshua has focused on documenting vanishing cultures and exploring social
issues through photography and new media.
Joshua has an ongoing project on
Diaspora Judaism in India, Ethiopia and Israel, Cogan has pioneered a number of
innovative projects with the award-winning multimedia firm BlueCadet. The
partnership has produced a number of heartfelt, interactive narratives for the
web, including a study of how high school students displaced by Hurricane
Katrina have coped with the loss of their homes.
Cogan’s latest collaboration
with BlueCadet, Live Hope Love, was a revelatory look at the silenced voices of
HIV-positive Jamaicans enduring the stigmas of their society through the words
of poet Kwame Dawes. Produced by the Pulitzer Center, it recently won an Emmy
for New Approaches to Documentary. Cogan's work has also appeared in the New
Yorker, GQ, Washington Post, and the New York Times.
