Indian Hill Imageworks

Artist. Innovator. Master Printer. Founder of Figital Revolution.

Stephen Schaub is an internationally recognized artist and master printer whose work has redefined the boundaries of photography in the 21st century. A Marine Corps Veteran who served with distinction in Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm as a recipient of the Navy Achievement Medal, Schaub brings a rare combination of discipline and creative vision to everything he creates.

After earning his BFA in Imaging Arts and Sciences from the Rochester Institute of Technology, Schaub founded Figital Revolution in 2005—a pioneering platform advocating for the creative integration of analog film and digital photographic technologies. The site quickly became a cornerstone for photographers exploring hybrid techniques, archival printmaking, and visual storytelling.

As a master printer, he works with rare and handmade materials—such as Japanese Gampi and bark-based Amate papers—to create photographic prints that are as tactile as they are visionary. His works have been exhibited throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia, and shown alongside legends such as Andrew Wyeth, Alfred Stieglitz, Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst, Nan Goldin, and Cindy Sherman.

He has curated exhibitions of contemporary photographic practice and published two critically acclaimed books: Through A Glass Darkly (2004) and A Sense of Place (1999).

Additionally, Schaub has consulted for companies such as Kodak, Leica, Epson, Sigma, Ferrania, CineStill, and Bergger Photographic.

Ric Kasini Kadour, curator and Andy Warhol Foundation Fellow, writes:

“Great artists are great artists because they tackle impossible problems. Schaub has spent the last decade refining and improving his solution to the question of how to convey time—a phenomenon in constant motion—in a two-dimensional print. His works are grand and epic, rich with detail that encourages the viewer to pause and look slowly and consider the past and what it means to the present.”

Whether in the darkroom or the digital studio, Stephen Schaub’s work continues to push the boundaries of photographic expression—melding material, memory, and meaning into visual experiences that are both timeless and profoundly contemporary.
