Evan Adams

Also known as Evvy, the film photographer behind Exclusive35Hawaii. I was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and fell in love with photography at age 12 when I picked up my first film camera. Self‑taught through hands-on experimentation and a string of photography workshops, I honed my eye over the years—and even explored painting, screen printing, and graphic design along the way.

In 2001, I moved to Hawaii, and the island’s light, pace, and beauty became a profound part of my creative story. Today, I shoot exclusively on 35mm and 120 film—with no editing or retouching—because I believe in capturing moments exactly as they are: raw, nostalgic, and full of feeling. Specializing in fashion, lifestyle, and intimate portraiture, my work blends Hawaii’s natural elegance with the textured, intentional depth that only film can bring.

Film isn’t just how I work—it’s how I see...
