About

Shannon Aguiar is a photographer and media consultant rooted in the vibrant culture of the West Coast. She currently calls Southern California home, where she quietly pursues her passion for visual storytelling as the Sponsorship Photography Lead for Same Same But Different Music Festival, and as a Sponsorship Media Consultant for various musicians, brands, and events including Events.com, Wonderfront Music Festival, and the Temecula Balloon and Wine Festival. She also works as an independent photojournalist and creative consultant for Red Canary Magazine, and as a Photography Assistant at Mattel. 

Her journey began, capturing moments for her campus newspaper and online magazine as well as managing her college's social media platforms. She gradually gained traction through enriching internships at esteemed publications like Los Angeles Magazine, Tokyo Journal, and OC Weekly. Transitioning into freelance work, Shannon found herself behind the lens of diverse subjects, from editorial covers to food, musicians to environmental crises, products, portraits and more. Following her time at Whittier College, she took on roles as a Marketing Coordinator and Senior Marketing Strategist in San Francisco, leading creative projects, designing products, managing social media, and producing photoshoots before moving back to Los Angeles two years later. She continues to take on freelance marketing and creative projects in her spare time. 

Her collaborations have been varied, from established brands like Materna Medical and Facebook to contributing her lens to publications including Pasadena Magazine and The Almanac.
