Shell Hofstadter is a Boston based photographer, she's currently doing it part-time and her full-time job is finance related. She specializes in creative portraits. Her style emphasizes color, framing and the story behind the photos.

Shell developed her interest in photography since she was 13 years old and the first camera she used was a Casio small digital camera.

She started to find it interesting when she found she was quite good at it and it made her very satisfied.

She believes that photography is very important because it stores the memory of human-beings. 

These permanent images help people remember their lives and allow the next generation to understand the past.

Besides photographing beauty, she also sees herself as a life documenter.
