Send us a textDon Stevie is a London-based “Street photographer”. His initial journey started when he had camera as a child which he used purely for fun. His photography came more to the fore in 2009 when he bought a little M8 digital camera. Interestingly, Steve doesn’t see himself as a photographer and merely carries his camera to shoot and capture the things he sees while out walking inner city London.His work is predominantly in colour, with a smattering of BNW images, that shows a keen eye for composition and a level of intricacy that has you going back to his images over and over again. He’s not shy in getting close to his subjects and is rather fond of using a flash to create movement and mystery within the images he creates. In 2021, Steve exhibited at the Brick Lane Gallery and has been published in f8 magazine.Follow Don Stevie:InstagramFollow us on Instagram and leave us a review!
