The Story Behind treats!

Where photography meets artistry — one extraordinary issue at a time.

Our Mission

treats! Magazine was founded on a singular belief: that photography at its best is fine art. Each issue is a carefully curated collection of images, stories, and creative visions — printed and produced to the highest editorial standards for collectors who demand more than a magazine. More than a moment. A lasting object of beauty.

From debut cover stories that launch careers to retrospectives celebrating iconic photographers, treats! exists at the intersection of fashion, fine art, and culture.

What Makes Each Issue Different

No two issues of treats! are the same. Each edition is built around a specific creative vision — a photographer's signature eye, a model's defining moment, or a cultural story that demands to be told in images. The result is a collector's item that looks as compelling on your coffee table years from now as it does the day it arrives.

Our 360-page hardcover Bares It All celebrates 15 years of treats! — with behind-the-scenes stories, fine art photography, and the editorial moments that defined a generation, including Emily Ratajkowski's iconic breakout cover.

The Photographers & Talent Behind the Work

Every image in treats! begins with a relationship — between photographer and subject, between light and intention. Our founder and lead photographer Steve Shaw has spent 15 years building those relationships, collaborating with artists like Gregory Siff and shooting the next generation of talent before the rest of the world catches up.

The talent we feature carries the same commitment. Kelsie Smeby — scouted in Minnesota and brought to the world through Chanel, Fendi, Valentino, and Elie Saab runways — graced the cover of treats! Issue 13, photographed by Frank Ockenfels III. Erin Cummins, discovered in small-town Washington, represented the United States at Miss World and walked for Carolina Herrera, Emilio Pucci, and Oscar de la Renta before appearing on our cover.

These aren't just magazine features. They're the early chapters of careers that go on to define culture.

Built for Collectors

treats! is made for the reader who sees photography as something worth preserving. Each issue is produced with collector quality in mind — the kind you return to, display, and share. Whether you're discovering us for the first time or adding to a growing collection, every issue is an investment in the art of the image.
