Joshua Charow is a documentary photographer and filmmaker based in New York City. His projects aim to unveil hidden stories and subcultures around New York. He seeks to understand and explore the people at the center of these stories. As a teenager, Josh would escape his suburban New Jersey town and go to New York City in order to climb skyscrapers, bridges, and visit abandoned subway stations. This subculture introduced Josh to photography as he wanted to document these off-limits locations as he risked his life to visit them. Josh went on to study film and television at NYU Tisch. He currently works as a cinematographer and recently shot 'Untrapped', a feature documentary that premiered at the 2022 Tribeca Film Festival and reached #3 on the Amazon Prime Video US Movies chart. He also worked as a cinematographer on Hulu's new docuseries, 'apCaviar Presents'. In 2021, Josh made a short documentary for TIME Magazine about James Maroon, who cleans the 9/11 memorial reflecting pools on a nightly basis. This documentary became TIME's most viewed digital documentary of the year, with over four million views. His latest documentary is about Treb Heining, the man who created and still leads a team of people that disperse 3,000 pounds of confetti by hand onto Times Square during the New Years Eve Ball Drop. Josh self-published this film on social media and it has garnered 5 million views across all his platforms. Josh has worked with various publications and brands, including TIME, Canon, Gucci, New York Fashion Week, Microsoft, V Magazine, Old Navy, Red Bull, NASDAQ, and more.
