Shawn Hoke is a New York based film photographer who comfortably handles shooting both film and digital. His primary interest is in shooting street, artistic, and documentary subjects, which could be people, objects, or the city itself.

He works in 35mm film format (Olympus OM-1), medium format film (Hasselblad 501cm), large format film (Toyo 45AII), and digital (Nikon D90).

Shawn shoots primarily in his adopted hometown of NYC. He has also photographed in Barcelona, Madrid, Sevilla, Paris, Dublin, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington DC, Portland, Austin, and Denver. He sells prints of his work by request.

As a film photographer who likes to control everything from composing the image to developing and processing, Shawn develops his own film and has taught several other photographers how to do so. By request, he has developed a three part tutorial for developing your own black and white film at home. Part One, Part Two, and Part Three
