Photography found Shane whilst travelling in London in 1998. His adventurous spirit and passion for music led him to tour with Ben Harper, as his concert photographer. Being a huge fan, and having never owned a camera before, that adventure was his baptism by fire! 
This extraorndiary beginning led him further into photography. He followed his camera into music festivals, cultural events, new countries, great friendships and eventually to a creer in Advertising when he returned to Sydney where he continued his love for photographing musicians and meeting artists while pursuing his own projects. He inevitably became involved in teaching photography, co-founding 'The Aperture Club' in 2013. In 2017, he went on to set up 'WeAreObservers' organising PhotoWalks, PhotoTalks and PhotoEvents for traditional cameras and the up and coming SmartPhone technology which was developing into something powerful.  

Shanes knowlegde of photography and creative thinking comes from his real-life experience, which is why he can take photographers at any stage of experience and unfold the process of creative thinking for them. He thoroughly understands the process because he was once there himself. Shane has helped hundreds of photographers with insights into thier own photographic strenghts.
