SFSteve's photostream

Hi.

I've been doing photography as an increasingly serious hobby since late 2005.

I spend 90% of my time doing fashion now, and work with both female and male models. My preference is to do outdoor editorials and lifestyle shoots, but I do studio work occasionally. I'd like to get more involved in 'product with person' commercial shoots, as well.

If you're a model or hair/mua and would like to work with me, by all means drop me a line and include a link to your stuff. I'm always looking for new people to work with.

In June of 2008, I took the Lighting Portraits on Location course @ the Santa Fe Workshops with Alan Thornton, which was a phenomenal experience.

I've also taken the High Energy Fashion course with Bruce Smith at Picture Perfect School of Photography (PPSOP.net).

Any talent at all that I have for photography I owe to my mother. She was an artist (a painter, mostly, but she also did pen-and-ink and stuff like that). She did not do it professionally; it was more of a hobby which she excelled in. Thanks, Mom.

I don't put much of my stuff on Flickr anymore, preferring to keep it on my own site (slrprophoto.com), as well as on Model Mayhem. Use the links to those two spots to see much more of my work.
