Move Over, Spritz: Italian Amaro Is Having a Moment in America

I am <a href="https://shellroyster.com/">Shell Royster</a>, an award-winning food, product, travel and stills photographer based in Atlanta.
I got my first camera in junior high school, and I’ve been hooked ever since. Throughout high school and college, I was the girl always snapping shots of people and places, and later in my formal training at the International Center of Photography in New York, I began to refine my technique and hone my eye.
Today I remain zoomed in on a mission and driven by a passion—the art and magic of transforming experiences into powerful images. I bring more than a decade of professional experience to my editorial and commercial work.
