Ian Loring Shiver is a New York–based photographer whose work explores how form, process, and perception shape what we see. His images play on sharp contrasts and unlikely object pairings, turning the familiar into something that feels at once ordinary and surreal. Influenced by the language of architecture—its structures, its weight, its illusions—he builds photographs that move between solidity and mirage, reality and something just beyond it.
Ian is also the founder of IOTA Editions, a publishing platform that embraces imperfection and collaboration as part of the creative process. Through this ongoing project he treats each photograph not just as a finished product but as part of a continuing conversation.
His commercial collaborations include: Away, Chanel, Cometeer, Dior, Doordash, Ghia, Google, Grailed, Grey Goose, Hims, Johnnie Walker, McDonalds, Michelob, Mountain Dew, Olay, Pax, Pepsi, Postmates, Prose, Rabanne, Scrub Daddy, Sheertex, Uber, Zocdoc.
His editorial collaborations include: The New York TImes, Bloomberg, Playboy, New York Mag, Dwell, Bustle, Nylon, The New Yorker, Hypebeast, Eater, and Wine&Spirits.
