_About Shan Shan Nie Photography

My interest and specialty lie in photographing people. I typically invest time first to understand what makes my client unique, and then through our interactions I capture what I learn with my camera.
Whether it is family portraits, engagement photos, or senior portraits, each set of my photographs carries a style that is both mine and that of the client his or her own. I intend for each series to be distinct from the rest both visually and conceptually. I do not subjectively choose a style for and impose it on my clients. I listen, I observe, and I take notes of who they are, what they want and what works the best with them. In photographing people, I focus on the moment, the angle, the lighting, the concept, the connection, the “look”, and ultimately the subject of the photograph. I use my technical skills, my artistic disposition, and my creativity to best render not just my view but who my client is. I trust that this shows in my photos.
