Artist in Residence 2024 | Mercantile | Fort Worth, TX
Shanelle Hope
From pet photos to headshots, we are so excited to have Shanelle on board bringing aesthetic excellence, elevated branding and great vibes to all American Landmark residents in the Fort Worth area.
A little more about Shanelle below:
"I am a freelance photographer with a creative and branding background. I thrive in spaces that allow me to creatively push beyond the norm and create a visually compelling story. I love being able to connect with a range of people, get to know their stories which allows each person to express their authentic selves in images and videos. Everyone has a story to tell, so many emotions inside of them and their own unique personality and not everyone knows how to use those words to express it. Photography for me bridges that gap.
Shanelle will be holding different workshop styled shoots that allow residents to express themselves and push past their limits!
"This also allows residents who aren't "creative" to connect with their neighbors because you never know if someone shares a similar story with you. And to take it a step further, it doesn't always have to be about photography.” She intends to create different themes per month depending on any holidays or time of the year. "Even if there aren't any holidays, there's ALWAYS something that can be done!” She loves to partner with other businesses in DFW that can offer their services to residents.
"I recently have been hosting wellness events and offering headshots. It allows people in the DFW to get updated headshots in the wellness/fitness space, while also connecting with like minded individuals in the industry. It's so important to have a community in whatever industry you're in. I saw a need and executed! I partnered with different vendors in DFW to set up tables and connect with the attendees and offer samples or free offerings.”
Shanelle continues to weave together the digital, wellness, and social realms and we are so happy to have her on board!
