Josh Spindler is a Brighton based British multimedia artist and filmmaker known for his work that explores environmental and societal themes. He gained significant recognition for his short film Margaret Gallagher is real, which won the Grand Prize at the Nikon Photo Contest 2022 - 2023 and secured him a place in the CIRCA x DAZED Class of 2021, with the piece being shown on the largest public screens in London, Tokyo and Seoul. Spindler’s work, including moving image, animation and photography, has also been involved exhibitions all over the world with his upcoming project ‘wild, still’ taking place in Scotland in 2026 in partnership with the Orkney International Science Festival.
Building research alongside his work is imperative in applying the correct feeling to the visuals, whilst making sure the facts back up the monumental themes that are apparent throughout. Technically speaking Spindler’s work moves between documentary/journalistic photography and conceptual art to create well rounded photo series that each have their own narrative and direction. Whatever the idea, Spindler finds the best process and technique to produce new ways to capture the magic within the mundane that we are all a part of, all of the time.
