Photography
In this session, film photographer Kate Hook explores how shooting half frames, with the PENTAX 17, has reshaped the way she sees and documents the world. Shooting exclusively on analogue for nearly a decade, Kate shares how the half-frame format has allowed her to tell more richer stories and the space between moments. Through personal projects, travel work, and creative experimentation, she’ll demonstrate how shooting half frames encourages a more intentional, immersive approach to photography, opening up new narrative possibilities. Effectively telling twice the story on a single roll of film. Whether you’re new to film or a seasoned analogue shooter, this talk will explore how limitations can become creative freedom. Kate talks about how the PENTAX 17 invites you to slow down, look closer, and live more fully through your (half-frame) lens.
