I’m Steve, a Dorset-based photographer with a passion for capturing life’s most meaningful moments through the lens of my camera.
I first fell in love with photography at the age of 13 when my parents bought me a Kodak Ektra to take on an educational cruise around the Mediterranean. It was a truly awful camera with terrible image quality but despite this and with practice, and learning the basics of composition, I took some half decent shots. 

Through my work, I strive to create images that resonate with authenticity and emotion. I take photos ‘about’ people rather than ‘of’ them whether that be photographing an artist on stage, an athlete in action, or a family in the park. My goal is always to capture the true spirit of the person in that moment.

I prefer to work with natural light as it is more flattering and offers a creative dimension to my photography. Before I take a single shot, I spend time getting to know my subjects and the kinds of images they are looking for. This helps put them at ease during the photo shoot which always makes for better shots.

When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me enjoying live music, watching sport or spending time with my friends and family. I am a devoted coffee drinker and wherever I go, like to search out the best independent coffee shops.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me and my passion for photography.
