Stephen's profile
My work explores the space between the visible and the imagined—where landscapes become layered memories and light dissolves the boundaries between subject and space. Using both analog and digital processes, I construct photographic compositions that are not merely captured moments, but built experiences shaped by texture, form, and time.
Like a painter with pigment, I layer elements from the natural world—water, flowers, minerals, the human form—into surreal environments that blur the organic and the abstract. These works are meant to evoke rather than document, inviting viewers to slow down and engage with emotional and symbolic layers.
Influenced by the precision of Penn, the urgency of Cartier-Bresson, the imagination of Turner, and O’Keeffe’s botanical focus, I’ve developed a visual language that leans into the atmospheric and unfamiliar.
Ultimately, my practice is about transformation and connection—between people and place, body and earth, the seen and the sensed.
