Shay Munroe is a photographer, writer, and filmmaker, working between fine art and documentary.

One of her greatest joys in life is the power of art to create an entire sensory filled world to slip into. She’s drawn to what feels unforced — the in-between moments. The playful, trickster ones and the quiet, tender, present ones. Much of her work explores the relationship between the human body and the natural world.

She is available for editorial work, campaigns, commissions, and personal sessions.

Let’s have some fun!
