ABOUT SHELBY...
Hey! I'm a photographer, actor, and filmmaker living in New York City. I fell in love with photography at Michigan State University when I began taking headshots for my classmates in the Theatre program. Since then, I've been working as an assistant for incredible NYC photographers Emily Hawkes and Regina Tamburro, who have been instrumental in developing my knowledge of studio lighting and commercial photography. I've been fortunate enough to work on projects for brands like Pret A Manger, UberEats, Olay, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Recess, AARP, and Hendrick's Gin.
My favorite part of being behind the camera is being able to show my clients the beauty that I see -- my favorite thing to hear is "Umm... wtf this is the best picture I've ever had of myself??" I like to create an environment on set that is chill, low pressure, and encourages playfulness and authenticity.
