The Camera is My Paint Brush, Your Portrait is My Masterpiece
From Canvas to Camera: Timeless Portraits That Capture More Than Just Your Image
Meet Shaggy
With over 10 years of experience in various art forms, I've recently embraced photography as a new medium to express my creativity. My style is a unique blend of surrealism and abstract realism, inspired by artists like Picasso, Goya, and Dali. I don't just consider myself a photographer - I paint, I sculpt, I do graphics, and I even model for figure drawing classes. Photography is the latest addition to my artistic toolkit, and I'm excited to capture your story through my lens.

About Me
I'm Shaggy, and my journey in art spans over a decade. I started as a painter and sculptor, and now I've added photography to my repertoire. My brand, Whispers and Smoke Entertainment, symbolizes the light within each of us. I believe that everybody has a light within them, no matter how bright or dim it is. Our ancestors passed us that light, and it's our job to shine it and light the path for others. Through my photography, I aim to capture and amplify that inner light in each of my subjects.
My approach to photography is unique - I see the world through tones rather than colors. This perspective allows me to capture the essence of a moment without the distraction of color. When I'm behind the lens, I'm not just taking a picture; I'm telling a story, capturing an energy, and creating a timeless piece of art.
