WHO WE ARE

Founded in 2018, The Liquid Collective specialises in action sports and lifestyle photography and videography — from surf to snow, outdoor adventure to soulful living. Our work is built on a love for storytelling and a commitment to creating visual experiences that resonate deeply and linger long after the moment has passed. Our name is rooted in salt and snow — a reflection of the liquid states that have shaped our lives. From sun-bleached Australian beach days to Japanese alpine ascents, we live for the moments where nature, motion and emotion collide.

Whether we're creating commercial campaigns, editorial features, social content, or fine art prints, we bring a deep understanding of both brand and culture. We collaborate closely with individuals and companies to translate values into visuals — delivering work that is intentional, authentic, and aligned with your vision from start to finish.

Based on the Sunshine Coast in Australia, our journey has taken us around the globe — from deep winter in Japan, to gorgeous lakes and rivers in New Zealand, beautiful Canada, and the expanse of the United States. Founder and Creative Director Josh brings a background in snowboard instruction, backcountry guiding, and a Bachelor of Business (Marketing + Japanese) — merging deep outdoor knowledge with sharp creative strategy.

“I grew up surfing, skating on longboards, and spending nearly every daylight hour outside on the Sunshine Coast. That lifestyle gave me a deep love for movement and nature — it’s just always been part of who I am. Photography came into the picture after school, and it quickly became my way of holding onto those moments. Since then, I’ve followed it through seasons of learning, failing, and growing — from shooting friends in the surf to working in the backcountry, guiding, instructing, and creating for brands I respect. For me, it’s always been about capturing the energy and emotion in those real, raw moments — and sharing that feeling with others.” - Josh - Owner/Creative Director of The Liquid Collective

We’re here to tell the stories that matter — through light, movement, and moments that speak louder than words. Thanks for being here, and welcome to The Liquid Collective.
