ANDERSON® (b. Shane Anderson; Kansas City, MO) is a photographer and director shaping imagery for fashion, beauty and jewelry brands. His career began early: at seventeen, he left home following his bold, curious spirit to East London. There he would apprentice under two Italian photographers whose greatest gift was an operatic worldview of romance, tragedy, glamour and mischief—influences that now serve as quiet architecture inside his images, resulting in the often surreal + poetic undertones that feel instinctive rather than performed, making him a favorite of luxury clientele.

Softened into a meditative discipline over time, his practice now emerges from a deeper curiosity about the elegance and patterns of the world as it moves, reframing the inherent personal narratives art carries as an effect rather than a cause.

Years producing global campaigns in parallel to his artistic career (including the landmark launch of Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty) have sharpened his approach to craft, collaboration and scale. He brings that same precision into every project, from hero campaigns to social content rollouts produced through his standalone studio,  a—son

Anderson currently splits his time between New York City + Milan and remains available worldwide, eager for the next adventure.

Clients include: Alex Mill ⋆ bareMinerals ⋆ Fendi ⋆ Innisfree ⋆ Pinterest ⋆ and more.

“...the Warhol of the 21st Century…”
WONDERLAND MAGAZINE

“[Anderson is] so well spoken and well versed that he can really hold his own with anyone, and his work shows that depth of understanding of a much older soul while also having the exuberant life of youth.”
WRITER + CRITIC, JANNIE SUSAN

“My most impactful ideas have always been like whispers from god which you rush to write down before their quiet revolution leaves the mind. The real question then lies in discernment, perception and how to become receptive.”
ANDERSON

“Then, what is immortality? The beauty in the church—not I built the church, not the object of beauty—the beauty itself. That is immortal… beauty is not in the field of conciousness.”
J. KRISHNAMURTI, 1957

“We live in an age when men treat art as if it were meant to be a form of autobiography. We have lost the abstract sense of beauty.”
OSCAR WILDE, THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY
