Hello

Hi There! I'm Shannon Tierney Flack, a passionate photographer based in the Washington DC area, renowned for my unique blend of music and photography. As a trained violinist and vocalist, I seamlessly combined my love of music with my expertise in visual arts, specializing in concert photography.

​

I earned my BFA in Studio Art with a concentration in Photography from James Madison University (JMU). During my time at JMU, I distinguished myself with my exceptional dedication, receiving the Senior Achievement Award for my outstanding work in photography.

​

My professional journey began as a photography intern at the Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts, where I honed my skills in capturing the dynamic energy and emotion of live music performances. This experience laid the foundation for my career in music photography.

​

In pursuit of my passion, I founded my own publication, Shutter Up & Listen, which has become a respected platform for concert photography and music-related content. My work has been widely recognized and featured in esteemed publications such as The Washington Post and Consequence of Sound, among others.

​

With years of expertise in special event photography, I’ve had the privilege of photographing events for The White House Historical Association, Ariel Investments, and The Washington Ballet, among others.

With a keen eye for detail and a deep appreciation for the art of performance amd evens, I continue to capture the essence of live music and once ina  life time moments through my lens, creating visually compelling stories that resonate with audiences and artists alike.
