Stephen brings many years of photographic experience with him to his role as iPhotography’s head content and course creator.
After leaving art school in 2005 he went straight into studio photography working alongside Photo Corp UK, before running one of the UK’s most successful high-end portrait studios with Venture Studios for over a decade.
His personal work which stretches from portraits to landscapes, and other niches in between could be described as atmospheric and low key – sounds moody, but he’s not really!
He’s previously had work published by Adobe Photoshop on top of many industry awards for his portrait photography.
