Shawn Maxwell Cinema

Shawn Maxwell Cinema Shawn Maxwell Cinema uses video and photography to tell the stories of people, companies, and products. What ever your story is, we want to tell it.

That’s why we’re here. From the young age of 7, Shawn's father worked at the movie theatre on the Army Base in the projection room. Shawn followed him to work whenever he could. Back then, movie theatres were more of a "hands -on" process. The sight, sounds, smells and overall experience with handling film still drives his passion today. Shawn's first experience with photography was in high school

when his teacher gave him a camera and an assignment to capture "whatever meant the most to him". Time in the darkroom, the manual process of developing film along with the anticipation of the final product was motivation in itself. The positive praise he received from his pictures around the players and energy on and around basketball court confirmed his belief in his talent and skills behind the lens. All of these combined experiences and positive memories with both film and photography drive the passion behind Shawn Maxwell Cinema. Fast forward to today. Shawn's mission is to partner with businesses, corporations and organizations as he teaches the importance of a Visual Branding Message. In today's competitive environment, the company who excels in delivering a vibrant and memorable visual representation of their product or brand positions itself in the marketplace to be remembered as a game changer, a leader and an innovator in the industries they represent. Shawn’s future goals include writing, directing and producing full feature movies, short films, documentaries and television projects. In the meantime along that journey, Shawn as his team continues to be a driving force behind delivering a customized, multimedia marketing and branding experience designed specifically for your business.

Black & Yellow ain’t just a color combo — it’s a mindset.

From anime discipline to hip-hop legacy… from quiet focus to undeniable presence.

I don’t chase loud.
I move intentional.

Calm energy. Heavy vision.

🖤💛

From the Bronx to the world—this thing called hip hop started with a DJ and a vision. 🎧
Block parties. Two turntables. A breakbeat loop.
The DJ set the tone… then the mic got passed. 🎤

MCs turned rhythm into stories. Pain into poetry. Survival into soundtracks.
Graffiti painted the movement. Breakdancing gave it a heartbeat.
And the artist? The artist became the voice of the people.

Hip hop wasn’t born to be pretty.
It was born to be real.
And it still is. 🏙️🔥

Stepping into my new Polo fit and I had to pause for a second 😮‍🔥🔥
Quality. Style. Presence.

Big shoutout to Roger Jackson for looking out and making sure I was straight from head to toe. Appreciate you for always keeping me fresh and plugged in with the designer heat 🐎💜

This look came straight from a powerful initiative with the Motivating Youth Foundation, where fashion meets purpose and giving back is always part of the mission.
It’s bigger than clothes — it’s about confidence, community, and showing up as your best self.

Grateful. Styled up. And ready for whatever’s next.
💪🏾✨

Today I made my way back to Washington, D.C. — it’s been years, but the feeling hit me like the very first time. Walking past the monuments, soaking in the history, and just letting the memories roll in… man, I needed that. Sometimes revisiting old places reminds you how far you’ve come. 🇺🇸✨

Picture this—you’re wandering through the heart of Baltimore, camera in hand, and the city is just talking to you. The colors, the grit, the murals, the people… it all hits different when you’re out there on the streets catching life as it happens.

Today was one of those days for me. No big production, no fancy setup—just pure energy, raw moments, and the heartbeat of the city guiding every shot. Baltimore’s got this blend of history and hustle that makes every corner feel like a story waiting to be told. And when you slow down, breathe it in, and let your lens follow that feeling? Man… the magic shows up.

If you ever want to sharpen your eye, grow your creativity, or just reconnect with why you fell in love with photography—step outside and hit the streets. The city will teach you if you let it.

✨ Behind the Scenes in Maryland ✨
Today’s setup was all about creating a clean, powerful space for education and impact. When you walk into a room and turn it into a full production studio… that’s when the magic happens.

We brought out the full kit:
🎥 Main camera locked in for crispy, cinematic shots
💡 Amaran OctaDome for that soft, even glow
🔆 LED panel lights to shape the frame
📱 BTS angles rolling to capture the story behind the story
🎬 Tripods, stands, cables, and monitors all dialed in

This is how we show up for STRANDS — teaching, documenting, and telling real stories about alopecia, hair loss, skincare, and transformation.

The goal?
To make sure every class, every moment, and every voice is captured with excellence.

When you invest in the setup, you honor the message.
And today… we honored it well. 🙌🏽📸

Atlanta in the fall just hits different 🍂 The mornings are calm — that kind of quiet that feels like a reset. The wind has a little chill, but not enough to make you run inside. The leaves are falling like nature’s confetti, and the whole city feels at peace. It’s that perfect “not too hot, not too cold” weather that makes you actually want to wake up early, grab a coffee, and just breathe it all in.

🎥 Behind the Lens with Shawn Maxwell Studio 🎬

We had the honor of capturing powerful moments at ’s community events in Maryland and Alabama — events designed to provide access to culturally competent dermatologists and early diagnosis for scalp and hair health issues.

From heartfelt conversations to hands-on styling education, our cameras caught it all — the real, the raw, and the transformational. It was inspiring to witness nearly every attendee walk away with a diagnosis that could change their hair journey forever.

These events aren’t just about beauty — they’re about healing, access, and empowerment, especially in communities like NOLA where finding a trusted Black medical provider is still a challenge.

📍Next stops:

Birmingham – August 9–10
Atlanta – October 4–5

Whether it’s natural styling or tackling hair loss, is showing up — and we’re proud to document every meaningful second.
