Shay (b. 2000, Plano, Texas) is a Dallas-Fort Worth based film and digital photographer, creative director, emerging videographer, and the founder of Nosta Studios.

Her work is rooted in a love for imagery that feels nostalgic, intimate, and timeless. Shay creates work that feels lived-in rather than overly polished images with warmth, character, and a sense of time.

Whether working through photography or moving image, her approach is centered around connection and storytelling. She is drawn to capturing people, brands, and artists with a distinct point of view and seeks to create imagery that feels honest while still carrying a strong visual identity.

Through Shay Fotos, her photography explores portraiture, editorial, commercial, events and film photography. As she expands into videography, Shay aims to bring the same nostalgic and cinematic sensibility into moving image, creating visual stories for campaigns, artists, brands, and creative projects.

Nosta Studios is an extension of that vision. The name represents a desire to create work that feels lasting and visuals that can exist outside of a specific trend or moment. As an independent production company, Nosta is built around visual storytelling, and creative collaboration.

Nosta Studios exists to create visual stories that feel timeless.
