My name is Brooke Shaden, I’m 24 years old. I began photography in December 2008 and have been shooting just about non-stop ever since then. I try to shoot every day or at least a few times a week. No matter what the thing that keeps me feeling most alive is creating new worlds through photographs and so I am constantly creating, editing, and posting them to the online world.
This blog is a space for my essays, both critical and informational, about the art of photography. My own art is often used as example, and my philosophies are implemented to further my artistic point of view that fuels my writing. I create photographs and essays so that a dialogue can be opened. I love nothing more than sharing opinions with people about art.
I live in the Los Angeles, California area, though I was born and raised in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I teach workshops both within LA and abroad. You can check the “Events” tab here on my blog to see upcoming workshop locations and dates.
