Shay Holloway is a photographer based in Springdale, Arkansas, whose work focuses on capturing moments of exploration, experimentation, and serendipity through the medium of photography. She uses her images to explore new perspectives and see the world through her own unique lens.
By utilizing her skills in photography, she strives to capture moments that often would have been written off as insignificant and to inspire viewers to look at the world around them in new ways. It’s her hope that through each image, she can play a role in allowing my viewers to explore and uncover the beauty of the everyday and sometimes the extraordinary. She strives to capture both the familiar and unfamiliar in imaginative ways that can evoke emotion and encourage the internal investigation of the viewer’s prior perceptions
