PHOTOGRAPHER, DIRECTOR, HOST, DRONE PILOT & ADVENTURER
What’s it like going 100 mph in the bed of a pick-up truck through the balmy Bangkok alleyways, tracking illegal street racing? Or cresting sand dunes in a buggy under the bright midnight stars on a mirage like path to an oasis in Tunisia? Or capturing the few seconds of world rally cars zooming past kicking up dust and and flying up and over through the air in Sardinia? Or exploring the peaceful elegance of luxury yachts off the Mediterranean coast of Monaco?
Shelby Knick can tell you. And show you.
Her artful skills as a photographer, director, drone pilot, journalist and on-camera host allow her to grab what you can’t hold and share the story that is otherwise impossible to tell. It’s her job to capture the adventurous call of life through imagery and story so that one unique moment in time can be shared and experienced in new ways. A talented and accomplished professional, Shelby loves exposing a greater sense of passion and adventure through all her projects. Her training began by graduating from one of the world’s top art and fashion schools at The University of the Arts London, including both colleges of Central St. Martins and The London College of Fashion.
Her work has been featured in major publications including Forbes, Road & Track, Motor Trend, Automobile, Town & Country, Rolling Stone, Racer, Excellence, The LA Times, The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune and Rangefinder Magazine. Shelby was one of the first photographers to be selected for Hasselblad’s Heroines, a campaign which highlights talented female photographers from around the globe making a mark. She’s given artist talks for B&H Photo, Hasselblad and a number of podcasts, speaking about her work and experiences.
Shelby is one of the few female adventure and automotive visual storytellers, who has forged a unique place in an almost exclusively male dominated profession. Hooked on these adrenaline filled worlds, Shelby has traveled the globe filming life, beauty, passion and excitement. She’s experienced firsthand scooter culture in Vietnam, entered the forbidden areas of Guantanamo Bay, motorcycled through France’s wine country, and chased the lifestyle of classic cars in Cuba.
All the while, Shelby has developed a keen eye for discovering the potential and possibility in each moment. Her years of experience have brought an expertise and finesse for delivering high quality footage and imagery that tells a unique story. With art, elegance and proficiency Shelby captures the message her clients wish to convey. Collaborating with Shelby on a lifestyle or adventure project produces the tangible feeling and experience of discovery. Her work process inspires ease and openness, creating an enjoyable and successful experience for those she works with.
Shelby welcomes unique challenges and opportunities. She’s available for photography, film directing (both commercial and documentary), drone piloting, and on-camera hosting. She is also available for speaking engagements including group panels and individual artist talks.
