I strive to capture honest and genuine portraits with emotion that is timeless and impactful.

Hi, I'm Franklin. I am a black & white film portrait photographer based in NYC. I shoot all things analog, which gives a one-of-a-kind experience to the subject and the viewer. I believe the slow process allows the sitter to "breathe," enabling me to capture their portraiture in an honest, transparent way. Everything is hand-processed by myself from start to finish without involving any photo labs, which allows me to have complete control over the creative process. I shoot primarily with a traditional large-format camera from the 1940s and with a mix of medium format and 35mm film cameras.
