Shel Celeste

I am an artist focusing in photographic mediums. I enjoy utilizing subtlety in color and tonality to portray the depth of feelings that come from observing and interacting with this beautiful world.

Hello, my name is Shel Celeste (she/her). I am an artist and photographer in Michigan. I specialize in portraits, tintype, nature, and product photography. I particularly enjoy making photographs that require much attention to detail, with lots of thought and planning to create. 

Closeups of nature, still-lives, and photographs of my life are some of my favorite subject matters to photograph. In addition to digital and tintype photography, I also shoot 35mm and 4x5 film and enjoy developing and printing my own black and white photographs. 

I mostly create for myself and sometimes my inspiration brings me to video which you can see here. You can see examples of my photography work in my portfolio at shelceleste.com.
