Biography
M.S. – Production Management – Indiana University Media School – 2017
Owner – Shawn Keller Photography, Cardinal Media Productions
My relationship with media dates to the first movie I ever watched in a theatre, E.T. Since then, I developed a hobby of making small movies with my friends, dabbled in screenwriting, worked in high school in producing sports media projects (including my high school’s miraculous run to a football state championship), and have been involved in storytelling ever since.
My formal education in media production began in the I.U. Telecommunications department where I learned the technical skills that has propelled me to where I am today. My graduate school experience took me from being a consumer of media to a producer of it.
I currently own and operate a photography business which specializes in family celebrations (weddings, graduations, newborns etc.) and a video media business which I am growing to produce larger projects. My services cover the Indianapolis and Southern Indiana region. My future goals include producing an original independent feature.
I am very passionate about teaching. My favorite part is watching students learn new skills, find and embrace their passions, and then move on to careers that unlock their potential.
The only reason I am able to pursue these passions is due to the love and support of my wife and my son.
