Shawn Hott

I started shooting photography in 2002 using film and developing in a dark room. I quickly realized my passion for photography hit when I went everywhere with my camera from sun up to sun down. Soon after I was able to overlap my passion for riding bikes with shooting photos for magazines and biking websites. During that same time, I would take the train to San Francisco on the weekends and take portraits of strangers and I loved capturing their emotion. I then realized I had a passion for capturing human emotion through photos and started taking pictures of family and friends. From then on, portrait photography became a huge passion of mine.
