A quick story.
In 1998, an adventurous trip to the UK found me on tour with Ben Harper and his band, photographing their first UK tour. That experience was the catalyst for a photography career. I realised early on that what makes a successful portrait, it’s the trust between the subject and the photographer.
My work is centered around people whether I’m photographing for myself or on a commercial project working to a brief.
In 2017 I created ‘WeAreObservers,’ a project to inspire passionate photographers through community photo events like photo talks and photo adventures.
Shane has been nothing short of incredible for our organisation. His ability to connect with people is why he is such an outstanding portrait photographer.
