Hey, I'm SHAN!
I've spent the past decade capturing love and chasing beauty across the globe, and I believe every story like yours is different and special and deserves to be held exceptionally.
Drawing on years of experience in the fashion and editorial photography industry, my photographs are graceful, honest and boldly natural, while completely intentional. Whether it's the opportunity to narrate the retelling of once-in-a-lifetime wedding days, or the ability to communicate issues of global importance, or all the stories in between, I look at photography as the method by which I get to leave the world a little better than I found it.
Over the last 16 years, I have grown a successful photography business from the ground up and established a brand. My company has received many prestigious awards as an enterprise with excellence.
Today my expertise extends beyond the lens. I am also a passionate educator and speaker, dedicated to inspiring and empowering photographers like you to pursue your dreams, master your craft, and build thriving businesses centred around your passions, all while living life to its fullest potential.
