Living in a house next to the sea on Britain’s south coast, his love of photography was reignited by the beauty of the Sussex Downs, the local shoreline and the sea. Moving into a house surrounded by nature, with an artist’s studio already built in the garden, his photographic focus on seascapes and floral portraits was almost inevitable. The confinement of the Covid pandemic imposed a time and space to distil his art, allowing Steve to focus on refining and redefining his practice over this period to produce the intricate and skilfully composed photographs that characterise his work.
Seve's finely-detailed work reflects the very different ways in which moments in time are captured and immortalised, contrasting the dramtic immediacy of the mutable moods of the seas, with the stillness and delicacy of single blooms as they reveal their intricate and fragile nature.
Most recently, Steve has expanded his work into new media, including 3D lenticular prints and works on glass, aluminium and cloth. These new teatments further enhance his reputation as a talented fine art photographer whose work captures the timeless beauty of nature in innovative and creative ways.
