"I saw a wet plate online and something drew me to it," explains Shane Balkowitsch. He continues, "my first attempt at a wet plate is a photograph of my brother, taken on October 4th, 2012. " Seven years after the fact, Shane has burst into the spotlight with a very special photograph of a hugely influential young woman.

On the morning of October 7th, Shane received the call he had been hoping for. He would be photographing Greta Thunberg. Since the shoot the images taken of Greta have, of course, blown up all over the internet. But Shane's work goes much deeper than a single shoot. He has several fascinating projects that are more than worth your time. Excited by his rise, we spoke to Shane to look at his work, and to discuss what could likely be his defining moment. . thephoblographer.com
