Books

Each book gathers a body of photographs into a sustained visual sequence —

reflections, street encounters, human presence, and the layered surfaces of public life.

Shared Surfaces

Shared Surfaces is a contemporary color street photography book exploring human presence through glass, reflection, transit spaces, windows, and layered urban surfaces — people half-seen, passing, waiting, and briefly held within the frame.

Cover of Shared Surfaces by John G. Hoey, showing the front cover, spine, and back cover, with diners seen through a restaurant window layered with street reflections, signage, and urban light.

Presence

Presence explores human trace, stillness, and emotional residue through restrained color, gesture, shadow, and fragments of everyday life — photographs where people are seen, implied, remembered, or quietly felt within the frame.

Cover of Presence by John G. Hoey, showing the front cover, spine, back cover, barcode, black background, and white title text.

Interflections

Interflections explores city life through glass, reflection, signage, color, and layered urban movement — photographs where streets, interiors, people, and surfaces briefly merge into shifting visual fragments.

Roads Without Silence: 9 Weeks in India
