About Me

As I’ve seen many photographers do, I can’t bring myself to write my own bio in the third person, so here goes. Firstly, hey, I’m Stephen Walton.

Let’s spin the clock back to 2005 when I graduated in Photography & Media Production.

I started as an Art Director & Photo Studio Manager for Venture Photography studios working on contemporary portraiture and lifestyle projects.

During that time I’ve worked with over 10,000 clients, families, and celebrities as well as shootings for brands such as Lexus and Mini BMW.

Due to my love of post-production and conceptual photography, I’m fortunate enough to have been invited to have my work published by Adobe a few times along the way too.

After 12 years in the high-brow, corporate photography world I decided I needed a change. Since 2017 I have been tutoring beginner photographers online.

It was an incredible experience supporting the next generation of creative artists through photography.

I like to travel light with minimal equipment. When I’m not tutoring you can find me (and my orange coat) wandering around local forests, and sometimes cities, looking for something new, quaint, and special to photograph.

I’m not a photographer who tries a bit of everything. I know what I love and I’m sticking to it. Portraits and woodlands are my two favourite areas of photography. When it comes to post-production I’m all about crafting unique stories through conceptual editing.

My belief is that photography is an emotional expression. While articulating that feeling is important to get right, (that’s all those camera settings in this analogy), it’s the storytelling that’s pivotal.

“Photography, like life, is just your point of view”

You see the moment in a way no other would. Take that moment, can it, and share it with the ones you love the most..
