Shawn Talbot Caribbean resort / hotel photographers

The challenge Shawn Talbot loves the most is to take a hotel marketing director’s vision and make it a reality.

For over 20 years Shawn has been going to extremes to capture the perfect shot for his clients. He has won numerous international advertising awards and has been recognised for his exceptional work by National Geographic, the Globe and Mail, the Smithsonian Institute and Maclean’s Magazine. He is currently featured in a documentary series about his work entitled 1 Stop Closer.

Shawn chose to pursue eclectic photography and lighting training from numerous instructors at several universities; this is evidenced by the broad range of styles and techniques seen in his work.

Not only is Shawn an experienced drone pilot, capturing world-class photographs and video from a bird’s eye perspective, he is also a pilot of light aircraft. This marriage of piloting skills, accompanied by the composition skills of an experienced photographer, make for the perfect combination when capturing aerial imagery of luxury hotels and resorts.

Shawn has travelled to the furthest corners of the world photographing a wide variety of subjects. These experiences have inspired the fresh perspective he brings to each project. His passion for his work and easy-going, friendly personality has turned many clients into lifelong business partners and friends.
