About Shawn Pierce

I am a portrait and commercial photographer in Rochester, New Hampshire, USA. I have been playing with cameras for more than 20 years, getting my start in the darkroom during high school. From 2012-16 my business was mostly focused on motorsport and cars, in fact, my biggest client is still a race track, Lime Rock Park. But, during Covid, I really got serious about portraiture. I opened my first studio in 2021 in an old mill building where I grew and learned as much as I could. Slowly gaining an understanding of studio light. This past March, I moved my studio into a permanent downtown retail location and have seen my business grow steadily in the months since.

Photography has been good to me so I am always trying to give back to my photography community whenever I can. I started my local camera club in 2016 and served as its president until the end of 2022. I served on the board of directors of the New Hampshire Professional Photographers Association from 2017-2022. And, I launched a "Photography 101" class for anyone who wants to learn the basics. I am always willing to have aspiring photographers visit the studio or sit in on a session.
