Cody Young
Hocus Focus Photography By: Cody Young is a well-known Lifestyle/Storyteller Photographer, located in Berkeley Springs, WV. The business was established on October 31, 2015.
Cody is also one of the pioneers of the “Southern Gothic” aesthetic. He’s known for taking photos in abandoned West Virginia locations that harbor a haunting, overgrown, & “back woods” scenic look. A lot of his Southern Gothic styled photos have a dark “redneck” or “hillbilly” style to it, very similar to Southern Gothic artist/singer Ethel Cain.
The current equipment Cody uses is:
Cameras: Sony a7V, a7RV, a7RVI, a7CII, & a7III
Lenses: Cody only uses Sony GM & Sigma ART lenses
His favorite lenses are: Sony 70-200mm f2.8 GM OSS II, Sony 35mm f1.4 GM, Sony 50mm f1.2 GM, Sigma 85mm f1.4 ART, Sigma 14-24mm f2.8 ART, Sigma 135mm f1.4 ART, Sony 24mm f1.4 GM
Accessories: PrismLensFX, Tiffen, & Other filters Cody uses for his signature “dreamy & whimsical” aesthetic
