Eamon Shannon Photography

Hawaii Wedding Photographer

 

Eamon began his love affair with photography in 1994 while living in Beijing, China. A student of culture and art, he was mesmerized by Beijing as a city undergoing tremendous physical and social change. Beijing afforded Eamon the opportunity to record a visual anthropological study of a people and city in transition.

After leaving China in 1995, Eamon continued his study of art, culture and photography while living on the east coast and Japan. In Japan, he studied ceramics from venerable masters while continuing to develop his skills in photography. In 2004, Eamon was awarded a grant from the University of Hawaii to return to Japan to create a photographic study of the ceramic masters and their art.

Having moved to Honolulu in 2001 to attend the University of Hawaii at Manoa, Eamon became involved in photo journalism and photo editing while working with the student newspaper. In 2002 he was recognized by the Hawaii Board of Publications for excellence in news and feature photography. Since graduating in 2003, Eamon has worked as a free-lance photographer shooting news, sporting events, dance and weddings.

As a wedding and special event photographer, Eamon’s style is intimate and artistic. His long intense study of "people as subjects" make each shoot unique and personal. He has the ability to allow his subjects to forget the camera and live, instead, for the moment.
