Biography

Fredric Shore

Earning a BFA from Emerson College in Boston with a double major in motion picture production and photography, Fredric started out his career in filmmaking and moved directly to Los Angeles.

The years in Hollywood were filled with all sorts of fun and games. Among them: production manager and film editor on several feature films, film editor for Orson Welles, still photographer for Capitol Records, CBS Television Network on-air promotion writer/producer, screenwriter/producer and Pita Bread truck driver.

Feeling a strong need to get back to a more personal approach to storytelling and visuals, Fredric returned to his still camera and the natural landscape that he cherished and sorely missed. In order to capture the natural beauty without compromise, he needed to shoot with the largest camera possible. He taught himself the large format view camera and, as long as his back holds out, will continue working in this age-old tradition.

His archivally preserved limited-edition original prints are exhibited nationwide and are well-known to astute collectors who recognize quality in craft and a unique approach to nature’s beauty.

Another form of storytelling that has been a closeted passion for a long, long time is songwriting. This passion is now out in the open with a cd collection of songs that soothe the savage beast and evoke emotions you never even knew you had. Take a listen.

The future brings a second cd of original songs, a music video of SO THEY DREAM, a new screenplay, a musical from the original songs and another new collection of natural landscapes.
