A Little About Me

Hey everybody!

I'm Zac Shopene, photographer behind Shots By Shopes.

While working as an engineer in Pittsburgh, I try to find as much time as I can behind a camera.

As a passionate amateur photographer, I’m constantly looking for new moments to capture on camera. The outdoors is where I find my peace. It's a place to go with few distractions. You can go to the woods and get lost, only to find yourself.

In my works, the outdoors is my focus. Whether it be a colorful landscape or an animal of any shape and size, I always try to capture that moment for all to see. 

Join me along this journey and get a behind-the-lens look at how I go about doing what I love most.

If you have any questions, comments, or insight to different areas, animals, and techniques, send me a message under the Contact page!

Thanks for all of your support!
