Lorien Shannon

Hello, I’m Lorien, but I also answer to Lola. I proudly wear the badge of an extrovert, celebrating my affection for people, the arts, and community engagement. I’m a vibrant, resourceful, adaptable, and resilient individual, equally at ease following instructions or providing them. Over the years, I’ve dedicated significant time to pursuing creative ventures, both in my personal life and as a professional endeavour. With a background in styling encompassing both fashion and property, I possess an impeccable eye for detail. I’m also a certified yoga and meditation instructor, and I’ve had the privilege of residing in various countries and exploring many others.

 

My passion for photography has been a constant presence, and in my late 40s, I boldly decided to return to university for full-time study in pursuit of transforming my passion into a career. I have an insatiable appetite for life and a deep commitment to continuous learning; I’m always open to new knowledge and experiences. I wholeheartedly immerse myself in every project and maintain an unwavering focus on the positive aspects of any situation.
