Orange County Photographer
About the Artist

The Aurora Gallery with its unique, dynamic versatility, and distinguished approach to wedding artistry, distinctive portraiture, commercial and landscape and areal images have merited both national and international attention and recognition over the past thirty years, including exhibitions and lectures on six continents and thirty-one countries.

For Internationally-Acclaimed, Award-Winning, Master of Photography, Wes Shrader, a native of the Canadian and Alaskan Arctic, now based in Southern California, no assignment is too exhaustive or challenging.

Critics, well-known celebrities of theater, screen and television, popular recording artists, noted politicians and renown photographers alike have expressed gratitude and admirable appreciation for his innovative artistry, deep-rooted sensitivity and unprecedented imaginativeness.

Mr. Shrader has lectured bilingually, both locally and abroad; his inner passions, his love of nature and animals, and sublime talents as an accomplished musician, composer, poet, and author have contributed significantly to his successful achievements as a dedicated, photographic artist.

Throughout the years, additionally as a publicity and fashion photographer, who has photographed such icons as John Wayne, Richard M. Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Mary Tyler Moore, William Shatner, Marlo Thomas, Barbra Streisand, Marlon Brando, The Carpenters, Michael Cole (of Mod Squad Fame), James Garner, and hundreds of other notable celebrities and well-known personalities, he is as comfortable and versatile “on and off” the set as he is with many other realms in the photographic world.

The Aurora Gallery will travel anywhere in the world for the very discriminating client.

Your ‘Special Moments and Memories’ deserve a Master’s Touch, Dependability and Integrity.
