Shane Lavalette (b. 1987) grew up in a small town just outside of Burlington, VT. It was at an early age that he discovered his love for photography and has remained fascinated by it ever since. He is currently living in Cambridge, MA, studying for a degree from Tufts University and The School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

His photographs have been exhibited and published widely. Most recently, his work was featured in Slideluck Potshow XI at the Chelsea Art Museum in conjunction with The Armory Show in New York, in Humble Arts Foundation's Group Show and Fjord, a book of photographs by young photographers.

For the last few years, Shane has been writing about photography. His Journal, which has one of the highest readerships of photography-related blogs, focuses primarily on fine art photography and issues concerning contemporary photographic practice. By featuring individual photographers, books, exhibitions and exclusive interviews with artists (including photographers Mark Wyse, Michael Schmelling and Matthew Monteith), the blog is both an archive of his own personal interests as well as a platform for critical discourse.

Shane is also the co-editor of Remain in Light, a new publication of photography and writing on photography, along with Chicago-based photographer Karly Wildenhaus.
