Stieglitz 19

Devin Yalkin (b. 1981, New York City) is an American photographer known for his grainy black-and-white imagesthat explore themes of intimacy, isolation, and emotional depth. His work blends photojournalism with fine art, capturing fleeting moments filled with mystery and mood.

Yalkin uses analog film and available light. His photos often blur the line between documentary and dream. Each frame feels spontaneous, yet deeply intentional.

He draws inspiration from cinema, jazz, and everyday life. His images are quiet, shadowed, and reflective—full of atmosphere. Figures often appear half-hidden, lost in thought or surrounded by darkness.

Yalkin has covered stories for publications like The New York Times, TIME, and The New Yorker. At the same time, he continues to build a personal body of work that examines human connection and the unseen corners of daily life.

His photographs have been shown in galleries across the U.S. and Europe. Stieglitz19 has presented his work in Europe, highlighting his role in contemporary black-and-white photography.

Devin Yalkin creates haunting, meditative images that linger in the viewer’s mind. His photography is about presence, perception, and the beauty of what’s hidden in the shadows.
