More about Stephen L....

What do you love about your job?

I love to capture meaningful moments in a documentary style. For my clients to see and relive their event through my images is extremely rewarding and I think these images become a part of their legacy for future generations. I enjoy taking a client's idea or concept and helping them to realise it.

What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?

I have shot several weddings, many food product shots and sporting events. I have also shot events such as culinary competitions. In all cases I try to make them special by recognising the emotions of each event and recording people's unguarded reactions.

A fun fact about this photographer

I changed career from an IT professional to a cookery student because I loved food and found cooking after work relaxing!
