Image galleries. Street photography. Stories about the history of photography with a focus on digital image capture. My edit workflow. What the photographers and cinematographers I follow and what they have to say about how they work and how those influences shape/shaped my work.

SELF PORTRAIT [ ANDY WARHOL TRIBUTE ]
WRITTEN AND SHOT ON iPHONE BY: STEVE HOLLOWAY
In fifth grade I took my first camera to school. Not for special events but to photograph kids at their desks, on playgrounds and in classrooms.
That’s how I learned to visualize, see and capture images.
Photography, marketing, design and copywriting. Halfway through my career, I went back to my first love, photography. I worked as an assignment photographer until I retired.
Retiring gave me the freedom to photograph and write about only what interests me.
Photography and road trips are two of my favorite subjects. They evolved into Drop Top Road Trips with images and stories from Route 66, the Grand Canyon, the Texas Hill Country and the beaches of Padre Island.
And into Nonlinear Content.
Nonlinear Content explores photography and the storytelling process.
Shot on IPhone Gallery is a digital publication of images from the road, street photography and still lifes.
Road Portraits explores one of my favorite disciplines, portraiture.
Every great image, every great film started with a story someone wanted to tell. The new eBook, Point of View is a storytelling skill builder of how-to guides and deep dive technical posts with a focus on how shooting on iPhone is changing our visual landscape.
From the screen to the wall is a project tasked with developing a workflow to test the reproduction limits of iPhone images output on high resolution 20″x20″ images printed on 24″x24″ archival paper and 10″x10″ images printed on 12″X12″ archival paper. Also testing a 48’x48″ rolled canvas. Currently in edit and post production. Release date to be announced.
