Steve Bloom is
a photographic artist who specializes in evocative images of
the natural world. Born in South Africa, he first used the camera
to document life there during the seventies. He moved to England
in 1977, where he worked in the graphic arts industry for many
years. In the early nineties, during a visit to South Africa,
his interest in wildlife photography emerged, and within a short
time he had swapped his established career for the precarious
life of a wildlife photographer. Such a move demands an added
measure of uncompromising passion and commitment.
He has won awards for his work and
his pictures are seen around the world in calendars, posters,
advertising, editorial features and a multitude of other products.
His books have been published in
fifteen languages. Professional Photographer Magazine described
him as a 'photographer at the leading edge who sets the agenda
for the future'.
Steve’s concern for the environment
is strongly evident in his images. In his book, Untamed, he
writes: “I am humbled by the opportunities I have had
to witness the diversity of life in so many places, and I hope
to share such experiences. Photography is the means by which
I strive to engender in others a feeling of unity with the natural
world. There remains the ongoing challenge to portray life in
all its manifestations, and create images that reveal the very
essence of what it is to be a living being.”
