The Passage of Time Recorded on Black and White Film

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 (Eastman 8x10 View Camera), and digital (Nikon D700).

Shawn shoots primarily in his adopted hometown of Brooklyn and the surrounding area. He has also photographed in Barcelona, Madrid, Sevilla, Paris, Dublin, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington DC, Portland, Austin, and Denver. You can purchase prints of his work here.

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
