Shelby Knick is an internationally recognized photographer and journalist whose work has been featured in major publications including Forbes, Road & Track, Motor Trend, Automobile, Town & Country, Rolling Stone, RACER, Excellence, The LA Times, The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune and Rangefinder Magazine. She is a regular Forbes.com contributor, covering topics from luxury destinations to the automotive world’s most anticipated events. Her training began at one of the world’s top art and fashion schools, The University of the Arts London, where she graduated from Central Saint Martins and The London College of Fashion. Since then Shelby has traveled the globe photographing and filming life, beauty, passion and excitement. Her work has provided an exclusive window into scooter culture in Vietnam and forbidden areas of Guantanamo Bay. Its taken her motorcycling through France’s wine country, and chasing the lifestyle of classic cars in Cuba. Shelby was one of the first photographers to be selected for Hasselblad’s Heroines, a campaign which spotlights uniquely talented female photographers from around the globe and she has given artist talks for outlets such as B&H Photo, hoping that her experiences will inspire a new generation of photographers. Lastly, she is one of the few female adventure and automotive visual storytellers to have forged a unique place in an almost exclusively male dominated profession.
As her client, Shelby will complete the message you wish to convey with art, elegance and proficiency. Whatever the setting, her photography and filmography expertise allow her to grab what you can’t hold and capture an otherwise intangible visual narrative. Her communicative approach and work ethic inspires ease and openness, creating an enjoyable and successful experience for all those she works with. Shelby welcomes unique challenges and opportunities. She’s available for photography, film directing (both commercial and documentary), drone piloting, and on-camera hosting. She is also available for speaking engagements including group panels and individual artist talks as well as private photography and drone lessons.
