Shannel has also worked with ETD as our Social Media Manager, and currently, our Social Media Host for our IG Live 5x5 Artist Series.
A Note From Shannel:
"ETD was one of the first in-studio photoshoots I did when I moved to NYC. Working with the company has been an honor and ETD continues to push my boundaries through art. The archival work we have built together fills me with pride and gratitude toward ETD for allowing me to be creative without any restrictions. I have always felt incredibly fortunate, loved, and cared for as an artist through ETD. I truly feel apart of the ETD family!"
What's next for SJR Photography?
"I am currently in the process of creating my second book, featuring dance artists through Portraits and performances and if people are interested in purchasing my first photography coloring book Capture the Colors they can on Amazon."
