Surreal stories by Brooke Shaden

Brooke ShadenBrooke Shaden is a fine art photographer living and working in the Los Angeles, USA area. Her passion lies in creating new worlds through photographs. Her vision extends beyond the realm of the camera, creating images that resemble paintings and speak of an era that is not our own. Each image is a story.

Brooke has been said to encapsulate a new way of creating imagery for our time and has “…dramatically restated a new photographic feminist agenda for the 21st century.” Her use of the square format and heavy texture work to create a painterly aesthetic is redefining the boundaries of photography. With these tools at hand, she creates new worlds through her images. (more…)

At only seventeen Lara started her own business – Lara Jade Photography. Beginning by taking on small clients, she was soon able to demonstrate a strong understanding of how to develop the commercial side of her business to adequately deal with the high demand for her work. Lara’s momentum has continued to build, with clients ranging from Sony Music, the BBC and well known fashion and photography magazines worldwide. (more…)
