Greg Shaddix is a North Georgia–based photographer known for capturing the grit, energy, and emotional truth of the Southern music scene.
Blending a fine-art eye with a documentary instinct, his work lives at the intersection of light, shadow, and story — preserving the fleeting, electric moments that define live performance.

Through both color and black-and-white imagery, Greg focuses on authenticity over perfection: the sweat on stage, the quiet between songs, the connection between artist and audience. His photographs are less about spectacle and more about feeling — visual narratives shaped by mood, contrast, and human presence.

As the creative force behind Exposing Southern Shadows Photography, Greg documents the artists, venues, and creative communities shaping North Georgia’s evolving musical landscape. His approach is rooted in observation, patience, and a deep respect for the unscripted nature of live music.

Beyond the stage, Greg creates portraits and lifestyle imagery built on the same philosophy — honest, story-driven photographs that reflect personality rather than pose.
