Shana Schnur

I was born and raised in Queens N.Y. I've been taking photos since I was young. I knew this was my passion and now I'm trying to pursue my dreams.

As of now I am a student in the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan majoring in Photography.


The creation of art requires finding the right niche for expression. In my photographs I try to see the truth that’s behind the subject or object.  I often see the strength that my models possess, the real smiles and joy, and the things that bring it out in them. The same is true with their intensity and passion, their very core that drives them to look a certain way in a picture or do something in life. An individual is complex, especially when attention is paid to their eyes, their gaze towards the viewer of the picture. They’re so much more than a model, but instead provide their true personality shining through. There is a vital; human connection that I aim to see and bring out to others looking at my work.

A release MUST be signed BEFORE the shoot and I ALWAYS have a makeup artist.
Escorts are allowed as long as they know they are an escort, nothing more, and don't interfere with my shoot. 
Models: If I booked you for a shoot and you don't show up or cancel for whatever reason it is, I don't shoot with you again.

TF* shoots - but on a very selective basis. Always looking to collaborate with new Stylists,Hair, Makeup and Clothing designers!

Also, after an email I like to communicate over the phone. sending messages back and forth can get frustrating.

Enjoy!
