I am “Shot By La Flame” known as Earl Stevens. I’m a black portrait film photographer based out of Connecticut. My work is captured using 35mm and medium format film.
The reason I capture my work using film is because film allows the photographer and client to capture “in the moment” shots. These “in the moment” shots give the viewer a natural and raw feel that cannot be depicted on anything other than film. Film photography is my way to express the love and passion I have towards art. My initiative is to introduce people who are unfamiliar with film photography to an experience they would never forget, and show them the capabilities film photography offers that cannot be done digitally.
