Learning to See & Painting with Light.
Photography as a hobby is an exciting task. Endless resources of information and much to learn without any pressure or expectations. The idea of recording the world onto single frames is an exercise that forces a closer look at light, colors and shapes. Either it be at home on quiet Prince Edward Island or the occasional travel to much larger cities, a camera in hand has become as common as carrying identification. The desire to become better is stronger then ever but at the end of each day; it's still all for fun.
- Stephen
Stephen lives on a small island in Atlantic Canada where he works with the design team of silverorange and ClusterShot. Outside of the design studio, Stephen has made photography an almost full time daily creative exercise that allows him to experiment in all categories. Either it be local scenery, traveling for work, or assisting another photographer - it's all fun and interesting.
Working in the web industry since 2001, his love for the art of post processing is equal to that of getting it right in camera. Stephen grew up practicing the art of traditional painting but after installing his first image editing application in 1998, has migrated into digital art, page design and photography. A growing obsession for tools like Photoshop was a natural progression into image making and this would also an indication that he has never shot film.
