ABOUT ME

SHANE BURNELL

PHOTOGRAPHY + ART DIRECTION

BASED IN CAPE TOWN - BALI - NAIROBI

Welcome to my site.

I was born in the beautiful city of Cape Town, South Africa. I have traveled around the world skateboarding & modelling and found my passion for photography while on the magical island of Bali. After witnessing the most incredible sunset on a little road called Gang Mango in 2016, I knew I had to start capturing the beauty this world has to offer. I found a love helping the animal shelters, so started contributing my photography and also help network the animals which I still continue to do. From spending over 20 years modelling & acting in front of the camera, I had learnt enough to move behind the lens and adapt to a creative career that felt more like me. I then started photographing models from my agency connections and I have now been working around the world, shooting campaigns and getting my work in publications. Photography saved my life in more ways than one & I am very grateful for it. I am now living in Nairobi, Kenya.
