STEVE LEWIS BIOGRAPHY

An Associate of the Royal Photographic Society, Steve has been photographing the landscape of Britain for over 25 years.  Closely associated with the Snowdonia National Park in particular, his knowledge and understanding of the area have allowed him to produce images unrivalled in their portrayal of the ephemeral light and wild atmosphere of that special part of the world.  His work is an intimate and lovingly crafted celebration of wild landscapes.

Steve’s work sells worldwide, and he is a contributing photographer to both the Photo Library of Wales and the British Tourist Authority image library.  A regular contributor to the national photographic magazines, he’s also a regular speaker at photographic societies, and hosts photographic workshops around the U.K.   Steve is also a long-time member of the Snowdonia Society, a charitable trust which campaigns on issues affecting the national park.  The society publishes a regular magazine, which often features Steve's work.

Steve is a keen advocate of large format cameras, having used one since 2001.  He believes that the stunning detail and superb tonal quality these cameras produce are the perfect vehicle for the light, colour, tone and texture which characterise his work.

"The real beauty and wonder of our landscape lies in the details: the shapes textures, tones and, above all, the light.  Bring these to the fore, give them context, and you are one step closer to finding the true heart of the landscape, when it will whisper its secrets, and allow a glimpse something truly magical."
