About

Shaun Armstrong is a UK-based documentary photographer and abstract artist.

His creative practice stems from an ability to seek out and capture a fleeting moment in any dynamic situation, or see and observe an unseen natural or built aesthetic, or both.

After a successful cross-sector career, a lifelong interest in photography turned professional in 2009 to focus on building image libraries for a diverse range of businesses and organisations to support their particular goals.

From 2024 he is now developing a portfolio of personal projects and selected collaborative assignments that explore heritage, culture and community in more depth; from still and moving visuals, to audio, creative writing and artwork for display.

His work can be found in digital and printed media, websites, guidebooks, brochures, annual reports, fund-raising portfolios, display materials, advertising, published books and national media in the UK and abroad, alongside both single works and collection installations in Reception areas, Boardrooms and meeting spaces. 

Away from photography, he is keen supporter of grass-roots music, collecting limited-edition indie-band debut vinyl releases and can be found regularly at small, independent-venue gigs catching the waves of rising artists and bands.
