Toni Shaw is a Greensboro photographer who is gaining international recognition. Known for her Instagram presence, in July, BAUCE Magazine identified her as one of "16 Black Female Photographers That Are Literally Killing the Game". The Artist Bloc of Greensboro nominated her as Visual Artist of the Year. Toni has been published in Shutter Magazine in every issue for the past 13 months. People come from as far as California for her "Go Click" hands-on workshops. Toni has worked hard to build her photography business over the last six years, and has amassed quite a diverse group of clients. From cradle to grave, she photographs virtually any life event requested by families and individuals. Corporations, like Delaize America (Food Lion) and non-profits (e.g., New Communion Mobile Market), have come to trust Toni to do their marketing photos and corporate head shots. Toni has developed a reputation for bringing out the best in every client; even coaxing young clients out of their highly-staged, social media poses.
A lifelong artist, Toni majored in fine arts at Winston Salem State University. Presently, her studio is located in the HQ Building on Lewis Street. When Andy Zimmerman opens his new workspace for artists, Studio 503 on East Washington Street, Toni will relocate there. If you haven't seen Toni's photography, you owe it to yourself to peruse her website.

Awesome write up on Ms Toni Shaw. I’m thankful that I attended her Family Portrait workshop and have attended two additional workshops. She encourages startup photographers like myself to shoot often, attend workshops, read material and watch videos that help you gain more experience. Thank you Toni for the guidance you have provided to me. Keep shooting and posting. I look forward to seeing more of your awesome creations.
