I am Kenny Shorne.
There’s a presence in the moments just before a photo is taken—a glimpse into the raw emotion and truth behind every expression. It’s in that space, that energy, where the most beautiful, intimate, and personal connections unfold.
My name is Kenny Shorne I am a filmmaker, photographer, and DP based in Central New Jersey.
My goal is to create an environment that nurtures creativity, experimentation, and authenticity—a space that is friendly, open-minded, and welcoming to all positive energies.
My journey began in 2017 when I first picked up a camera. Self-taught and driven by passion, I’ve explored many areas of photography, including portrait, fashion, concert, sports, and travel photography. Over time, I also developed a love for filmmaking, initially hesitant about directing but later captivated by the process after working on my first video in 2018.
Since then, I’ve collaborated with independent artists and labels to bring countless music video visions to life. In 2021, I wrapped up filming and editing my first short film as a Director of Photography, and I currently have a self-written and directed short in production, set to be unveiled when the time is right.
During 2024, I spent many months traveling the Nike EYBL Basketball Circuit, shooting for NJ Scholars and further expanding my sports photography experience.
Beyond photography and film, I spent 2022 and 2023 experimenting with my musical side, forming a band, and performing shows across the country—including at SXSW 2023—gaining invaluable artistic and life experience along the way.
In 2025, I co-created Growing Somewhere, a passion project dedicated to artistic expression and storytelling.
I love collaborating with artists across all mediums who are deeply passionate about their craft. When our energies align, we push each other toward new creative heights. My strengths lie in portrait, fashion, concert photography, and film, as well as conceptualizing, directing, producing, and editing projects from start to finish with a team.
When I’m not behind the camera, I’m immersed in music—Alternative R&B, Pop, Soul, and Rock are my soundtrack 24/7. I also thrive on spontaneous adventures, exploring new places, and meeting inspiring people along the way.
Looking forward to connecting.
Until next time,
Kenny Shorne
