Shoccara Marcus was born in Bridgeton, NJ and raised in Atlanta, GA. Her journey with dance began in afterschool programs and local dance schools. She pursued this curiosity for dance studies at Tri-Cities Visual & Performing Arts High School in East-Point, GA and cultivated it at Howard University in Washington, DC.
She now resides in Atlanta, GA and is in her 2nd year of graduate studies for photography at Savannah College of Art and Design (Atlanta). She was a 2012 RAW Photographer of the year nominee, has produced 2 dance calendars, premiered her first dance photography book Thirteen Moments in April 2013 and recently studied abroad in Lacoste, France.
Shoccara’s photography focuses on fine art, portraits, and dance. Much of her photography reflects the body as a delicate subject. She captures images with fluidity, creative angles, and dynamic spatial structure. This embodiment has formed into the creation of Shocphoto Imagery.
I first met Shoccara on a gig in 2012 as a dancer. She's a tiny person, yes, but I could tell that she was a force to be reconned with not long after we started rehearsals for our show. Eventually I learned that she was a photographer and after seeing her images I was a total fan! It's obvious that Shoc "has it" when it comes to her photography....she has the eye and it catches such amazing shots. From headshots, to action, to family portraits Shoccara is a great choice for anyone looking for a photographer.
Our conversation for the WERKing dancer focused specificially on how dancers can prepare for a photoshoot and how to get the best shots. We speak about makeup application, stretching before your shoot, connecting with the photographer and much more!!! Please check out our interview below as there are a number of helpful hints that you can apply to your next shoot!
