Stephen Shaw sees what most people are blind to having experienced a darker side of life. He has been published with Pitch, Stern Crime (GER) and Fused Magazine (UK). Shaw's online published work features with Petrie, Semi zine, Photo Grad, Trip publishing and Float. He specialises in semiotics, social documentary and portraiture, working within street/documentary and has self published 5 photo books Strange, Last Stop, The Gift, Omens of Murder and Queenstown. Stephens work focuses on social cleansing and open secrets in society, more easily seen by the victims of it, which became a part of his life. He would like to work collaboratively having photo-books published with large publishers and feature in gallery exhibitions creating unique experiences, producing work within what he loves. Somewhat uniquely Stephen records audio whilst with sitters using dreams and Deja-vu to compose his work.
“Stephen is a brave one, attracted to what others might run from” PP Hartnett
Sadly society doesn't base its principles on truth. People believe what they want to believe. A sad reflection on contemporary cyber culture. A world of wrestling to please the spectator.
Nirvana in bloom, smells like teen spirit,
Buffalo springs for what it’s worth
