hey! i’m Shalin (shay), a photographer and aspiring designer based in lancaster, pa. what can I do for you?
-
I capture people—portraits, events, nightlife, and sports—through collaboration and storytelling. photography connects me to energy and live moments. lately, I’ve fallen for live entertainment, where movement and spontaneity make every shot unique.
-
Bring a custom pop-up photo booth to your event—perfect for markets, parties, and celebrations. From headshots to group moments, it’s all about capturing memories with flair.
-
As a photographer learning design, I’ve loved exploring new ways to tell stories. Design has shown me how images, type, and layout shape experience. My work thrives where photo, video, and design overlap, and stepping into live entertainment, I’m excited to push those boundaries even further.
-
As a second-generation Caribbean American, I’ve been working with my grandma, Veda, on two projects: a Guyanese recipe book to preserve her childhood dishes and a Caribbean dictionary for immigrants, bridging ingredient name differences between the Caribbean and the U.S. These projects help me reconnect with my culture and preserve knowledge—something I value in all my work. Both projects are about preserving and sharing knowledge—something I value in all aspects of my work.
My newest project, a pop-up photo booth, has given me hands-on experience with event photography, client interaction, and on-the-spot printing, allowing me to merge creativity with business. Right now, I’m focused on refining my style, building my portfolio, and learning what it takes to sustain a creative career.
