I live and work in Brooklyn. My day job keeps me in film and chemicals, but photography keeps me in love with this world.
From James and Karla Murry, authors of the excellent Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York: “Few photographer’s work connect with us like Shawn Hoke’s work does. It just looks and feels “right” to us. The shots are that perfect combination of technical prowess and effortlessly looking results, un-choked by fussiness and ready to echo as documents for eternity… It’s as if Shawn has managed to compile a visual mission statement for what we do everyday. And he shoots primarily film. Still.”
