Shawn is not only a Photography Industry Influencer and Professional Speaker but also a TEDx Alum, Executive Producer of TEDxDetroit, and recipient of the HRUnite ‘Igniter’ Inaugural Award and Humanitarian of the Year Award. In this episode, we’re diving into the topic of “Empowering the Next Generation.”

Shawn’s work extends beyond the lens, as he runs ROCK THAT, a dynamic 3-day photography conference and national tour showcasing top creative talent worldwide.

His approach to photography, people, and societal progress reflects boundless enthusiasm and innovative thinking.
