I am Joshua Broken.

Why Broken?

I have been through a lot in my life and have struggled with mental illness since I was a teen, however I have found these moments of feeling broken have helped me become who I am now. I believe this has let me see the world in a more beautiful and appreciative way, and honoring those breaks makes me stronger. I was inspired by the Japanese art of kintsugi, where they use precious metals, like gold, to repair broken pottery. This enhances the breaks in the piece and causes it to become more beautiful while also telling the story of the journey leading to today.

Through my photography, and my art, I want to invoke memories and emotions of the viewer all while telling a story. Let me capture those moments for you, and more importantly, capture that piece of your story.
