Pretty Cinematic Scenes
Photography is a passionate undertaking, be it as a career or hobby. For Texas-born Shane Woodward, it is fueled by his love for cinema. Woodward has been taking photos for about five years now or ever since he received a camera as a gift from his sister. Recently making the move from Texas to Paris, he is now focusing on several creative outlets which include not only photography but acting and filmmaking. As he says, "They all nourish each other and keep the creative lid open." “Beauty, in its conventional and unconventional sense, can always draw me in and get the juices flowing," he says.

Moving from beautiful contemplative landscapes to advertising photography, Taylor now finds himself shooting on the streets of New York City for an eye-opening series titled Street Kids. “Their candidness is raw but courageous, their stories painting a heartbreaking picture of young people who are the fall-out of social and economic change," he says.
