Redondo Beach Fine Art Photographer's Vibrant South Bay and OC Beach Images on Display and Scattered Among Hollywood's Stars at 2015 Golden Globes Celebrity Gift Lounge

Redondo Beach Fine Art Photographer Shannon Howard’s vibrant South Bay Images (http://www.etsy.com/shop/ShannonHowardPrints), will be displayed and included in celebrity gift bags in association with The Artisan Group® at an invitation-only Golden Globe Awards luxury celebrity gift lounge hosted by GBK Productions. The event will take place January 9-10 at an exclusive location in West Hollywood, California, in honor of The 2015 Golden Globes Nominees and Presenters. This event will also be attended by nearly fifty press and media outlets.

One of the South Bay photographer’s most popular Hermosa Beach photographs, “Vibrant Shore,” (pictured top left) was selected to be prominently featured on display at The Artisan Group’s exhibit, and all attending celebrities will receive her “California Collection” fine art photography note cards (pictured bottom left) in their swag bags. This collection features unique, colorful photographs ranging from bold and dramatic to delightfully retro and were primarily shot in the beautiful beach cities of Los Angeles’ South Bay and of Orange County, California.

When asked about the inspiration for her work, Shannon explained, “I really work to create serene and uplifting pieces for my clients’ homes and businesses that will inspire a vibrant, positive lifestyle. It’s my hope that when people visit my online shop, they feel instantly refreshed by what they see. My work is inspired by a love for the simple pleasures in life as I feel these are the moments that rejuvenate us the most amidst our fast-paced days.”

The photographer’s choice of images for the event stemmed from her love of our Southern California Beach Cities.

“I selected these particular photographs for this celebrity event because of the Golden Globes’ location here in the LA area and because I love the unique energy of our SoCal coastal communities. Our beach cities are each very unique yet still share a blend of seaside tranquility and vibrant artistic energy that makes them a great place to renew our spirits. I believe that surrounding ourselves with dynamic images that speak of renewal and positive energy can really affect our lifestyle for the better. We all lead busy lives and need a space in which to recharge. I strive to create images that will refresh my clients homes/businesses and encourage that essential rejuvenation.”
