Shaun has always been an artist and creative at heart, and an avid entrepreneur, having started 6 other business ventures along with Airmage Media Productions. He has been enamoured with photography and cinematography ever since he was a young boy with his first camera at age 8, inspired by legendary creators such as Peter McKinnon, Casey Neistat, and Chris Burkard. What started as a venture to provide professional commercial access to aerial photography quickly evolved into a full-service production company. Today, Airmage Media Productions offers a wide range of services, from full event video and photo productions to commercial photoshoots, real estate marketing, private portrait photography, professional headshots, and more.
Shaun’s background is diverse and extensive, with experience working at SpaceX, Rocket Lab, and the FAA as an aerospace engineer. He has had the opportunity to work professionally with some of the world’s most recognized companies, including Toyota, NASA, Marriott, Coca-Cola, and Amazon, which has given him the ability to approach each project with a unique blend of technical precision and artistic vision.
With numerous prestigious accolades under his belt, including the Miller Fellowship, Provost Doctoral Fellowship, and the John & Linda Leazar Entrepreneur Award, Shaun’s passion for innovation and excellence is evident in everything he does.
