North Georgia and Atlanta
Exposing Southern Shadows.The street. The studio. The arena.
Live shows, studio portraits, Southern streets and the dust of the arena. Down here, beauty likes to hide in the shadows, so that's where I go looking. My job is bringing it into the light.

The truth, told plain
I've spent a lot of nights in front of stages around Atlanta and North Georgia, and somewhere along the way this scene became my people.
Exposing Southern Shadows started as a passion project and grew from there. Music comes first, but you'll also find me shooting portraits, models, rodeo and the streets of the South. I take every shoot seriously, because these moments matter to the folks in them.
What folks are saying
Greg has been the photographer behind my many bands for years, shooting dozens of sessions and capturing nearly every print and social media image I use. He gets the music, the moment, and the passion in front of his lens. When my dog Leela was in her last days, Greg photographed her with such tenderness. Even in her old age, he captured her spirit, and those photos mean the world to me. Whether it's a band, a landscape, or an old dog, Greg sees what's alive in everything he shoots. I'd recommend him to anyone.
Greg Shaddix brings curiosity, a love for moments, and his own perspective to the stories he tells with a camera. Through Exposing Southern Shadows, he doesn't just capture what a moment looks like; he captures how it feels. His photographs tell stories that stay with you.
If you're looking for a photographer who does more than simply take pictures, I wholeheartedly recommend Greg Shaddix.
Greg has a calm, patient, unhurried approach that makes a photo session feel less like a photo shoot and more like spending time with an old friend. Rather than feeling rushed or self-conscious in front of the camera, you find yourself relaxing and before you know it, the awkwardness of posing for pictures begins to fade, and you can simply be yourself.
Greg comes prepared with ideas and creative direction, but he also welcomes your input and suggestions. He understands that the best photographs aren't always about striking the perfect pose. They're about capturing the person behind it.
Greg has a way of creating an environment where you feel comfortable enough to let your guard down, allowing your true personality to shine through in the final images.
If you want photographs that feel genuine, personal, and true to you, Greg is someone I would highly recommend for all types of photography projects.
Greg is an uber talented photographer and musician and is a true artist. Greg’s captures have their own spirit. It’s like his camera lens tells a separate parallel story. His work has exceeded my expectations each and every time. With every new project I do another session with Greg comes with it. Frame worthy work always.
In a point and shoot world, where most images are captured in an instant and forgotten just as quickly, Greg Shaddix creates photographs that linger.
He has an incredible eye for raw emotion and the patience to wait for the moment that tells the story. From the glow of the stage lights to the fire in a performer’s eyes, Greg has a rare ability to translate the raw power and emotion of live music into a single, timeless image.
He doesn’t just capture what a performance looks like. He captures what it feels like.
Greg is truly a master of his craft.
Greg Shaddix’s photography goes so far beyond expression through subject, light and shadows. He reveals souls and captures moments. He does this through artistry, hard work and trust. His live music photos are expressive and artistic, full of depth and light.
Recently, I had the good fortune of working on a photo shoot for my solo project. We walked, talked, and felt at ease. As a result, we came away with dozens of incredible shots where I saw my artist identity exactly as I’d always hoped, and in a way I am stoked to share with others.
