World's First Photo
The first known surviving photograph made in a camera, was taken by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in 1826 or 1827. The image depicts the view from an upstairs window at Niépce’s estate, Le Gras, in the Burgundy, France. More >
Since then photography has become an art and record keeper. It’s an influencer, mirror and outlet. Photography connects to humans at the deepest level for mediums. We all look at images with a longing and desire. Images that make you pause, appreciate and be present. Photography is a wonderful art and important part of our social fabric.

Shane's Zesty Beginnings
Photography has been a passion of mine since the age of 13 when I got my hands on my first camera. I was never encouraged to take up photography but found an affinity with it by capturing images around me.
Back then photography cost a lot of money. So while I wanted to take photos, I was restricted by budget. Photography allows me to be present to the moment and enjoy the beauty of our world. I have a real interest in the environment and architectural photography. Shane Strudwick Images >
