I am a Portrait and Boudoir Photographer located in Atlanta Georgia. West Pierce Images is a natural evolutionary branch to my parent brand, Shane West Pierce Photography. In my compositing and editing process for my specialty portraits, It was difficult to truly offer my clients a unique and timely portrait experience when creating composite portraits. Composited portraits is a very time consuming endeavor translating into a costly endeavor and I didn't want my work to be cost prohibitive for my photography clients. So in an attempt to decrease work time as well as translated client costs, I
started to create my own custom back drops that I could use and reuse for my composited portraits.

Once I started to create and
experiment with them. I would display them on my social media pages to test the waters and see what my friends, family and peers thought. The response was more than I had initially anticipated. Photographer friends of mine started to message me asking where I got my backdrops
from, because they wanted to get some as well. This lead to my
realization that I was on to something special.

This sparked my artistic side and drove me to develop West Pierce Images. During my creative
process, I started to freely create various backgrounds and started to
notice that some would work great for digital backdrops, and others
were, though beautiful, very complex and looking more like unfinished pieces of art. So I started to play with these complex pieces and they just kind of evolved into digital art.

I would display these pieces of art on my social media and once again, I was getting inquiries as to where they could be acquired. This notion came out of left field as I created many for my own satisfaction. It was nothing more than a creative outlet for my own personal amusement. I started getting
messages from friends, family and followers alike, commenting on how
much they liked them and told me I should sell them as digital art.

After much deliberation and chats with my confidants, I mustered up the courage to include them as an option through West Pierce Images as well. And this is how West Pierce Images organically came to life.
