Visiting Artist Chuck Hodes Is A Former Stevenson Parent
And An Award-Winning Photographer
Stevenson is proud to feature Chuck Hodes as its latest artist in the 2022-2023 Visiting Artist Series.
Hodes’ photography will be exhibited in the Visiting Artist Gallery, which is located in the First-Floor Rotunda, West Building, through Jan. 13.
An award-winning photographer with more than 40 years of experience, Hodes, whose three children all graduated from Stevenson, boasts a career that includes motion picture and television set photography as well as commercial advertising and corporate campaigns. He is a member of the International Cinematographers Guild, which accredits him to shoot stills for television and feature films through the major studios.
During his career on set, Hodes has compiled a list of more than 100 credits, including FX’s “Justified: City Primeval,” premiering later this year on Hulu, and “Night Sky,” starring Sissy Spacek and J.K Simmons, released this past summer on Amazon.
Other notable credits include six seasons on the hit Fox series, “Empire,” as well as 10 seasons of “Shameless” on Showtime. Hodes is a member of the ICG’s National Executive Board and a 2015 nominee and 2016 winner of the prestigious Hollywood Publicist Guild Award for Excellence in Unit Still Photography.
A Midwest native who currently resides in northwest suburban Chicago with his wife, Hodes earned a B.A. in Cinema and Photography from Southern Illinois University.
