Joshua Jensen-Nagle: Endless Summer
For the past fifteen years, Joshua Jensen-Nagle has captivated the viewer with his evocative large-scale photographs. Best known for his dreamy beaches, expansive mountainscapes, and romantic European vistas, Jensen-Nagle’s immersive photos invite viewers to lose themselves within the images, often evoking emotional, nostalgic or aspirational associations.
In his renowned series, Endless Summer, Jensen-Nagle explores his obsession with beach culture, offering a reflection on the artist’s own joyful memories of childhood summers spent along the New Jersey shore…memories of never-ending days surfing with his dad and jumping waves. Photographed from different vantage points, often hanging out of helicopters to capture his arresting birds-eye views, Jensen-Nagle has spent near decades traveling the globe in search of sun-soaked vistas. Contrasted with modern lifestyle, we find bathers basking in the sun, scattered along the shore, swimming in the sea and escaping the bustle of their everyday life. His images are prided on happenstance, showing humans completely enveloped by their environment, surrounded by the beauty of the moment, as if it were a far-off dream.
