Shanelle Jacobs is a self-taught multi-disciplined artist based in Washington, D.C.
She specializes in Portraits, Concerts, and Concepts. Born in Bronx, New York,
Shanelle Jacobs has resided in various states along the east coast. Shanelle started
her photography career in 2014 by simply picking up her first point-and-shoot
camera and a photography book, then going outside to capturing images of the world
around her. What started out as a hobby and quickly turned into something more.

Shanelle is now a full-time photographer and filmmaker, working with up-and-
coming models, artists, local and national brands, and documenting a variety of events. Her philosophy for Shanelle Jacobs Photography is simple: “ I look to create great memories by bringing out every emotion with each photo that I take. If I haven't done that, then I haven't done my job. I intend to have every session and event to be better than the last.” When she's not taking photos, you'll find her volunteering, exploring, or spending time with family. Filmmaking had always been something she wanted to get into but it wasn’t until 2020 that she took the leap into the journey of filmmaking. She has studied and learned from working on-site with small sets and
workshops. With filmmaking came relearning how to be a writer.
