Creative & Aesthetic Photography

Art-Driven Imagery with Intention and Mood

​

Not every photo needs to sell something.
Some images exist to feel.

​

Creative and aesthetic sessions are about atmosphere, storytelling, texture, light, and emotion. Whether you’re building a visual concept, exploring identity, creating moody portraits, or simply wanting something different from traditional photography — this is where artistry leads.

 

Shot by Sheldon offers creative and aesthetic photography in Edmonton and surrounding areas, blending technical precision with expressive vision to create images that stand out.

Creative Photography Services

These sessions are highly customizable and collaborative.

​

1. Concept-Driven Portraits

 

Have an idea? Let’s build it.

  • Mood-based shoots (dark, cinematic, soft, surreal, minimalist, etc.)

  • Wardrobe and styling guidance

  • Indoor studio or on-location concepts

  • Lighting tailored to emotion and tone

 

We start with a concept and build everything around it — color palette, texture, posture, and environment.

​

2. Moody & Cinematic Portraits

 

Designed to feel dramatic, intimate, or atmospheric.

  • Controlled lighting setups

  • Shadow-focused compositions

  • Film-inspired color grading

  • Editorial-style posing

 

These sessions are perfect for artists, musicians, creatives, or anyone wanting something visually powerful.

​

3. Minimalist & Clean Aesthetic

 

Sometimes less is more.

  • Neutral backdrops

  • Simple wardrobe

  • Subtle posing

  • Clean composition

 

The focus becomes form, expression, and quiet presence.

​

4. Experimental & Artistic Sessions

 

For those wanting to push boundaries creatively.

  • Unique angles and framing

  • Texture overlays or stylized editing

  • Motion blur or dynamic movement

  • Creative lighting techniques

 

These sessions are collaborative and exploratory — ideal for personal projects or portfolio expansion.

The Creative Process

Creative shoots require more than just showing up with a camera. They require intention.

​

Step 1: Concept Development
We discuss mood, references, inspiration images, and overall direction. If needed, we create a simple mood board.

​

Step 2: Styling & Location Planning
Wardrobe, props, and environment are selected to align with the concept.

​

Step 3: The Shoot
Sessions are relaxed but focused. I guide you through poses and movement while leaving room for spontaneity.

 

Step 4: Artistic Editing
Post-production is where mood is refined. I use professional tools in Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom to shape color, contrast, and atmosphere while maintaining image integrity.

​

Step 5: Final Delivery
High-resolution files are delivered digitally, suitable for print, portfolios, or social platforms.
