Photos by Shannon McGowan

I am a visual journalist and fiber artist based in Charlottesville, Va.

I discovered a passion for photography in high school and have been expanding my knowledge of time, light, and space ever since. Along the way, I discovered an interest in telling stories through photos and other media.

This site contains various examples of my photography, video work, and written stories. You can get in touch with me at kanzingerellen@gmail.com.
