Steve is a still and moving image photographer living in the New York's Hudson Valley. After discovering photography early in life, he attended and graduated from NYU Tisch School of the Arts and went on to work in advertising, corporate communications, entertainment, and ethnographic consumer research. He returned to his personal visual roots again in 2013.
Unexpectedly widowed in 2017, his work now tends to put a contemplative, meditation touch on the natural landscape in both his still and moving image portfolios, edging along realism and abstraction. If the world is a round hole, Steve tends to be a 'square peg' kind of guy. Mostly, it's about his unending dialogue with the world and his desire to better understand it. Selfishly, he asks the viewer to join him in this very personal exploration and meandering discovery.
Steve has exhibited at the Center for Photography at Woodstock (Woodstock NY), Crohn Gallery - SPL (solo show) (Saugerties NY), Davis Orton Gallery (Hudson NY), Dorsky Museum of Art HV Artists 2017 (New Paltz NY), Emerge Gallery (Saugerties NY), Griffin Museum of Photography (Boston/Winchester MA), Howland Cultural Center (Beacon NY), Intima Gallery (Saugerties NY), South by SouthEast Photo Gallery (Molena, GA), Wired Gallery (High Falls NY). Recently, he was part of Saugerties Public Library's "Altered Books" group multi-media exhibit with an installation of his "at a loss for words" portfolio. He is also co-moderator of The Center for Photography at Woodstock's monthly in-person Photographers' Salon.
In addition to his website, Steve's Vimeo and Facebook pages have more work. His fine art still photographs have found their way to the walls of private collectors as well as the halls of small, entrepreneurial companies, mostly in the metro NYC area.
He prefers dark comedies to romantic ones, chocolate in any form, a deep Cabernet, an easy smile married to a hearty laugh, and a higher than average curiosity in life and love. He lives in the Hudson Valley in a stubborn 100 year old cottage.
