==Career== During the summer of 2004, Lutz was given his first solo exhibition at the Gitterman Gallery in New York City.
In 2008, Lutz's first book, ''Meadowlands,'' was published with powerHouse Books. In essayist Robert Sullivan's introduction to the book, he describes the ''Meadowlands'' as "… that giant swath of swamp and space that separates New Jersey from New York City, or, put another way, from New York City and the rest of the United States of America." ''The New Yorker'' magazine wrote "Joshua Lutz takes the ''New Topographics of'' ''Adams'', ''Shore'', and ''Sternfeld'' into its current era of urban sprawl."
In the fall of 2008, Lutz had a solo exhibition for the ''Meadowlands'' series at the ClampArt Gallery in New York City.
He saw the publication of ''Hesitating Beauty'' book in 2013. A series of photographs revealing a different side of Lutz's photography, it tells the story of his mother.<ref>{{cite magazine|first1=James|last1=Pomerantz|accessdate=2020-09-07|title=Joshua Lutz's "Hesitating Beauty"|url=https://www.newyorker.com/culture/photo-booth/joshua-lutzs-hesitating-beauty|magazine=The New Yorker|date=February 22, 2013 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|access-date=2020-09-07|title=Peculiar, Lonely Photos of Sex, Addiction, and Mental Illness|url=https://www.vice.com/en/article/joshua-lutzs-peculiar-lonely-photos-of-sex-addiction-and-mental-illness/|website=Vice|date=June 25, 2018 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|accessdate=2020-09-07|title=Joshua Lutz - "Hesitating Beauty" (2012)|url=https://americansuburbx.com/2013/03/review-joshua-lutz-hesitating-beauty-2012.html|date=20 March 2013|website=americansuburbx.com}}</ref>
