Steve is a commercial photographer based in Coffs Harbour and has just launched an online photographic gallery at www.youngphotography.com.au
After 30 years in corporate life based in Melbourne he and wife Christine underwent a classic sea change relocating to Coffs Harbour in 2006. In preparedness for this move Steve completed an Advanced Diploma of Photography majoring in Commercial Photography at the Photography Studies College in Melbourne.
Half of his time is spent on commercial photography assignments and he covers a broad cross-section of activities, including family and business portraiture, advertising, product and food photography, event, conference and other business and Industrial photography.
In a quest to satisfy a creative drive, Steve is continuously capturing images for his personal photographic projects and presents many of these in the fine art photography galleries on his site.
Whilst some are derived from studio photography, moreso these days Steve is capturing images for his seascape and landscape photography galleries.
