Black and white photograph of a figure in rippling water, CRZYPNDA

Hi,I’mShaun. I photograph people in Miami, around Austin, and underwater.

I photograph people, mostly outside with natural light. In Miami, you’ll usually find me at the beach around sunrise. Around Austin, I head for the woods and lakes. I shoot underwater, too.

The work

The chapters.

  1. FacesPortraits, mostly outdoors
  2. UnderwaterPools and open water
  3. PNDAGRLSThe panda mask series

My favorite studio is
a beach at sunrise.

Haulover, Crandon Park, and Virginia Key are my go-to spots in Miami. I love the early light, and each place gives me something different to work with. Around Austin, I’m drawn to wooded areas and lakes.

Once in a while I’ll shoot on a street or in a hotel, sometimes at night.

Miami beaches

Sand, dunes, palms, and low light coming in across the water. Early morning is when I like it best.

Around Austin

Wooded areas and lakes. The light comes through the trees instead of across the water, so the pictures feel different.

Underwater

Pools and open water. If we shoot underwater, we’ll pick the location and depth around what you’re comfortable with.

A few favorites.

Some pictures from all three series. Each one links to the series it came from.

Prints, a book,
and a few other things.

The shop isn’t open yet. Here’s what’s coming: a limited edition print, the first PNDAGRLS book, and apparel. Each page lets you leave your email to hear when it’s ready.

A little about me.

I’m a husband, a dad, and a designer. I never really decided to become a photographer. I just kept finding reasons to pick up a camera: travel, people, places, and light.

The people are what keep me at it. We spend a little time together, and we both leave with pictures we made.
