Steve Scalone
Australian based commercial and fine art photographer Steve Scalone captures scenes that resonate the ‘decisive moment’. The use of delicate tones, refined composition and a precise depth to draw the viewer into the images, provoking curiosity about the scenes and the people in them.
Steve embarked on a professional career in a series of photographic commercial labs. He witnessed the beginnings of the digital camera revolution and embraced the change.
In the years since, Steve pursued the photographic form in both his artistic and commercial practices. Along the way he's acquired numerous Australian and International awards for photography and book production.
His talent on the ground for inspiring fellow professional photographers and nurturing his peers through education, as well as his continuing public advocacy for the arts, have led to him being honoured with the title of an ILFORD Master.
If you have a project or concept you want explored -- be it artistic, commercial or educational -- feel free to get in touch with Steve to discuss whatever you have in mind.
