About Neil Shearer
My name is Neil Shearer, and for the past decade, I have been
dedicated to capturing the essence of athletes, dancers, and models
through my lens as a commercial photographer. For those new to
my work, let me share my journey and the passion that fuels my photography.
Established - 2004(ish)
My story began two decades ago when I travelled to Brazil.
Eager to capture the vibrant sights, colors, and emotions, I purchased my first camera, a Nikon F80 film camera. That initial trip ignited a lifelong passion for photography, and I still cherish the photos taken that are still displayed in my home.
Transitioning from a career as a scientist in a lab to a successful photographer and fulfilled artist, I have always sought to fill a creative void and produce the art I love. Whether photographing dancers or products, I meticulously plan each concept, ensuring nothing is left to chance. The moment I look through the viewfinder, I enter a state of flow, where the world fades away, and my sole focus is framing the perfect shot.
This creative journey resembles a train ride to unknown destinations, with each photograph representing a new station, revealing unexpected beauty. I embrace the uncertainty of where my creativity will lead, trusting the process and following my instincts. I prefer to carve my own path rather than follow the crowd.
Today, I balance client projects with personal shoots, creating both art and advertisements, always in pursuit of the next great image. When not behind the camera, I value time with family and friends and enjoy running, often with my dog. It is the perfect way to de-stress, clear my mind, and inspire new creative ideas.
My Mission
My mission is to free people from the burden of having generic art in their homes.
I want everyone to have the opportunity to have art that sings to their soul.
I understand the myriad choices that are available, and the daunting nature of
investing in original artwork, so check out my brand promise below
and put your mind at ease.
Every dancer and model featured in the artwork you buy will receive
a percentage of the profits, because, without their talent and enthusiasm,
none of this would be possible.
