Professional details:
Nadine Shaw is an Advertising and Commercial photographer based in Brisbane, specialising in people and product photography over the last 10 years.

I love coming to work each day because
Its guaranteed to be a whole new experience

I first knew I wanted to be a photographer when
I assisted a fashion photographer on a shoot in a cemetery in London.

The one thing that got me where I am in my career today was
Persistence, don't take no for an answer.

I feel most challenged in my career when
Nobody is smiling.

I feel most successful in my career when
Everyone is pleased I have arrived.

The highlight of my career has been
Photographing Steve Irwin.

If I wasn’t a photographer I’d be an
Archeologist / interior designer / game ranger / landscape architect / artist ... oh hell, I’ll give anything a go.

The best piece of advice I have ever received was
From my father, he said never burn your bridges.

Next on my professional agenda is
Creating a cookbook, a book on the art of tea and 101 Buddha’s.

To me, Work/life balance means
Relaxing when the work is done!

In ten years time I hope to be
Living a fully self-sufficient lifestyle in a sustainable house and Permaculture garden that I have designed.

I relax by
Good music, good friends or a bit of dirt through my fingers.

The best holiday I ever had was
Traveling around Europe with good friends in a busted VW van for a year.

My greatest love is
Creating something/ Learning to create something new.

My favorite time of day is
Sunset.

Something that makes me really happy is
Seeing a general awakening in peoples interest in nature and the environment.

Something that makes me really mad is
Peoples apathy.

I treasured my childhood because
It was innocent and playful; I investigated many treetops and rock pools.

The most interesting person I ever met was
I meet them everyday.

My biggest regret in life is
I plan on getting through life with no regrets.

My greatest achievement is
My belief in myself that I can achieve greatness.
