Caroline Shearer
San Francisco, CA, USA
After many fun years working as a freelance Make Up Artist and making up lots of models in pop promos, glossy mags (Elle Decoration, For Him) & catwalk shows (Helen Storey at London Fashion Week), Barclays Bank poster campaing and lots of celebs (Rowan Atkinson, Jonathan Ross, Annabel Giles, Hale & Pace, Brian May from Queen.) I moved on and fell into the insurance market. Total accident. Trained to be an Underwriter by day and pickled my liver at night. Totally different from anything I had ever done before but after 4.5 years in the City I went back to a more creative role in Soho working for an advertising agency. After moving from London to San Francisco in 2005 with my hubby and two children, I now have time to pursue my lifelong passion for photography and finally learn everything I always wanted at the Academy of Art. I particularly enjoy shooting "life" subjects like portraits and capturing the beauty of the landscape around Marin.
