I was standing at the edge of the abyss and I vowed to stop living with regrets. See it, believe it, achieve it.
THE MAN BEHIND THE LENS
If You asked my clients for an accurate description of me it would probably look like this. I have a saying
"a witnessed moment through the eyes of A Photographer, is a missed moment through the eye of HE'S lens."
For this reason I very rarely put my camera down, but let me introduce you to the man behind the lens
"Hi,
Im Shane"
So in 2013 I Purchased My First camera and set about turning my dream into a my reality
I was Born in a town called Greenwich, situated on the outskirts of South London.
I was raised in a loving home by my mother who hasn't stopped working a day since I was born. She is where I get my work ethic from.
I discovered early on that I had a gift for drawing and went on to study art and design at college, before redirecting my efforts into the study of cameras at University.
Already with child and only a part time job to my name I spent the summer looking for work. I secured a position in a Bank and spent the next 10 years sharpening my tools.
Naturally creative I never truly felt like I fit in to the corporate world and spent many years dreaming of another life in which I had followed my creative dreams.

MY STYLE & INSIRATIONS
I have always shown an interest in the physical human form from life drawing classes to portrait photography. I studied the art of manipulating light and shadow in a way that adds beauty to ones subject. Photographing hair and beauty projects for many years, my work is solely based on naturally beautifying my subjects. My work mimics that of an editorial piece,. Its purpose is to not only to look gorgeous but to also convey a message or communicate a story. I like to get creative and am inspired by Love, colour, design and emotion.
Every couple wants to look amazing on their wedding day. There are no limits a bride won't go to, to secure the right hair stylist, makeup artist and dress. It is therefor my duty to capture images that not only complement your efforts but that exceed your expectations.
"I WANT TO CREATE IMAGES THAT ARE SO MOUTH DROOPINGLY GORGEOUS, THEY LOOK LIKE THEY'VE BEEN PLUCKED FROM THE PAGES OF A BRIDAL MAGAZINE"
"The WORLD IS SO BIG AND I WANNA SEE IT ALL"
Whether Scuba Diving in the Red Sea, Shopping in NY with my son, Visiting Vintage camera shops, Windsurfing at Sunset in the Pacific Ocean or indulging in fire lit dinners, the common theme is that I love to travel, spend time with family and continue to up skill myself. my personal goal is to become a more balance human being and a more skilled professional
And that's my story, I can't wait to hear yours.
