Discover Top Editorial Photographers / Photojournalists in Jacksonville, Florida, USA

To put it briefly, I am a photojournalist and editorial photographer at heart. Being a photojournalist gives you a license to be curious about all things. It's all about the people and their stories. There is nothing I love better than going out on an assignment, being able to illustrate a good story, and then seeing those photos in print or on the web. I get an indescribable high from it every time. Every day in this biz is a new adventure. And you're only as good as the picture in today's paper. I have been a staff photographer at 4 different daily newspapers, but I've freelanced and had my work featured in publications across the country. I shoot news video for First Coast News, the Tegna affiliate in Jacksonville, Florida in addition to my still photography work. I cover a wide variety of stories with and without a reporter. A lot of what I do is transmitted to the station as it is happening.

Hi, I'm Shannon Wolfgang, mom of two and a native of Orlando. I have seen our beautiful city grow in many ways and have been able to experience various trends and cultures while capturing moments. I share our adventures of art, travel, food, and fun in the images I take while promoting the Central Florida area and beyond. It is fun experiencing some old yet new adventures within my children's eyes. After graduating from the University of Florida with a degree in Magazine Journalism, I realized I had a passion for storytelling, and I love to talk. I landed back in O-town and started a 10+ year career in print and digital media designing for various national magazine publications. During those years, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work overseas on a fashion magazine in a foreign language. After working a decade at the magazine company in Winter Park, I went out on my own as a freelancer, which included contract work for national brands and various agencies around Orlando. One client turned full time for 3.5 years, but I went out on my own once again. This time was different, and we turned everything we knew into a business. I always wanted to help people, and this was a way I could artistically.

Please message me for my Signal number (Hablo español!) My inbox is off-the-record. I am a Poynter-Koch Media Follow from June 2021 until May 2022.

I started my career as a full-time staff journalist at Miami Today News covering the dynamic cities of Coral Gables and Miami Beach as well as international news that affected South Florida, including arts, culture, banking and finance. I have freelanced as a writer, photographer and videographer for numerous publications since college, including USA Today, the Tampa Bay Times, the St. Augustine Record, Happs News, Al-Jazeera Plus, Human Rights Campaign, the Florida Bulldog and Seminole Magazine, long before completing my Bachelor's in Journalism/Media Production.
