Lawrence Steinwachs is a local Rochester regional photographer specializing in traditional film large format Black and White images. His expressive work is primarily within the context of natural and manmade landscapes. The body of work spans 40 years rooted within a career at Eastman Kodak which included B&W photographic paper and film product development. Images have been published in Kodak promotional brochures, exhibited at Kodak Park and more recently at Image City Gallery in Rochester. There he won Best Landscape and runner up to Best in Show within Photographers’ Journey 2022 and exhibited a larger set of images at B&W Invitational 2022.

Most recently he provided B&W images for Insincere Uncertainties performed at Hobart William Smith Colleges. Lawrence invites you to explore this website for examples of his work. Each of the portfolios above reflect projects originating primarily from the ever-changing landscapes and locals of the western New York region. These images are made with traditional 4x5 large format B&W film methods and printed digitally using archival materials. Silver gelatin prints may be offered also once darkroom capabilities are expanded. All photographs are available for purchase.
