Shannon McClatchey - Photographer

I have been photographing the world since receiving a Kodak Instamatic camera for my 7th birthday. In my teens, my father promised he would give me a 'real camera' if I took a photography/darkroom class, so at 14 I spent the summer at Barnsdall Art Center in Hollywood, CA. I not only earned my Konica T3, but began a lifelong love of making images. In the past few years I have had a solo exhibition, Presence and Absence, at the Threshold Gallery at Mithun in Seattle, received a King County Public Art Projects grant from 4Culture in Seattle, was included in the Takt Kunstprojektraum artist residency program in Berlin, Germany and also the hybrid spring session residency at Picture Berlin in Berlin, Germany. Currently, I shoot mostly on film using 35mm, medium format, plastic and Polaroid cameras, though I occasionally dabble in digital.
