William Josephs Radford is a thought-provoking contemporary photographer and artist hailing from the raw countryside of rural Andalucía, Spain
Born on August 23, 1998, Radford’s artistic journey has been characterized by a relentless pursuit of pushing artistic boundaries and challenging conventional thought processes.
From an early age, Radford displayed a keen artistic talent, often seen with a pencil in hand at his local village school. His fascination with cameras ignited at the age of 15, setting him on a path towards fine art photography. Eager to refine his skills and expand his artistic horizons, Radford pursued formal education at the University of Gloucestershire, where he studied fine art photography.
Throughout his career, Radford has developed a distinctive style characterized by striking compositions and subject matters that aim to challenge his audience. His work draws inspiration from the transgressive art movement, seeking to break free from prior definitions of art and explore controversial themes. With a preference for the light-painting technique, Radford painstakingly crafts his scenes through layered light and long exposures, skillfully employing color to further engage with his subjects.
