Joshua McSwain is a commercial, aerial, and sports photographer based in Texas, known for dynamic visual storytelling shaped by a career at the intersection of athletics, journalism, and aviation.

His work reflects a fascination with human performance and engineered precision—capturing everything from the charged intensity of collegiate sports to the clean, deliberate lines of modern aircraft and industrial design. With a background in sports photojournalism and editorial direction, Josh cultivates a style that is bold and intentional, balancing raw emotion with elevated visual clarity.

In 2023, Josh was named Photographer of the Year by the Texas Intercollegiate Press Association, recognizing his ability to create images that are both technically refined and deeply human. As the Editor-in-Chief of the Baylor Roundup Yearbook, he led a team that produced nationally recognized work, earning an ACP Pacemaker Award—one of collegiate media’s most prestigious honors.
