Hiya! I’m Aura Shaw!

I’ve always felt drawn to cameras, photography, and filmmaking. I feel so blessed for my family and friends for encouraging and supporting me every step of this wonderful journey.

After graduating high school in 2020, I started my Associate Degree in Digital Cinema Production at Oklahoma City Community College, studying cinematography, storytelling, directing, production design, and film business. I graduated in December of 2023.

Early 2021, I started mentoring under the Speed Graphic king Michael Hast at Bedford Camera in OKC.

The summer of 2022, my dreams came true and I was the photographer for YMCA Camp Classen. The following summer in 2023, I returned as the Photo Media Specialist and focused on cinematography while coaching the new photographer.

I started shooting on film around this time as well. Camera, film, and development all done by Studio V OKC.

Autumn of 2023 and 2024, I was production designer and captured behind-the-scenes on the set of the short film Pam, written and directed by Stormie Staley.

Since August, I’ve been a photographer with Oklahoma School Pictures!

I’m committed to building my photography business and brand, and making my passion my career!
