CREATIVITY through a lens

Shawn van Eeden is an international award-winning photographer based in Namibia who specialises in lifestyle and commercial photography.

Shawn started his career as a designer. After moving to the UK he worked in London for agencies both small and large until he ended up at Leo Burnett. After 12 years in London he decided to return to Namibia. He joined a local agency and a few years later finally turned his passion for photography into his profession. Never one to miss out on a challenge, he is always looking for new and exciting photographic opportunities. In his time off he loves nothing more than travelling around Namibia to capture the amazing landscapes, armed with only coffee and a tripod under his arm.

Being a photographer makes you more observant. You start to look at places, people and objects in a different way to try and create dramatic images. Namibia is such a harsh yet at the same time stunningly beautiful place and it is exciting to be there as a photographer.
