STEVE CHRISTMAN PHOTOGRAPHY



PRACTICALLY A NATIVE TO NEW MEXICO, I MOVED FROM CHICAGO TO ALBUQUERQUE IN 1976. I WAS GIVEN A CAMERA AS A GIFT YEARS AGO FROM MY MOTHER TO USE ON A TRIP. I GOT SOME INTERESTING PHOTOS BACK FROM THE LAB AND FROM THAT MOMENT ON I WAS HOOKED! EAGER TO SOAK UP MORE KNOWLEDGE, I GOT MY HANDS ON READING MATERIALS AND WAS MENTORED BY FRIENDS WHO WERE IN THE BUSINESS.

I ALSO TOOK COURSES IN PHOTOGRAPHY, ATTENDED SOME WORKSHOPS AND LECTURES BY WORLD RENOWNED PHOTOGRAPHERS SUCH AS JERRY UELSMANN, GALEN ROWELL AND DAVID MUENCH.

I BEGAN TO LOOK AT HOW LIGHT PLAYED A KEY ROLL ON A SCENE AT DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE DAY. ENCOURAGEMENT FROM FAMILY AND FRIENDS I PURSUED MY PASSION FOR PHOTOGRAPHY.

PUBLISHED IN THE PRESTIGIOUS PHOTOGRAPHER’S FORUM ANNUAL BOOK BEST OF 2000 AND 2003. MY WORK HAS RECEIVED MANY ACLAIMED AWARDS ALSO RECEIVING NOTORIETY IN THE N.M. STATE FAIR, N.M. FIELD GUIDE TO THE SANDIAS AND OTHERS. I HAVE DISPLAYED MY WORK IN VARIOUS GALLERIES AND OTHER LOCATIONS.

BRANCHING INTO OTHER AREAS OF PHOTOGRAPHY INCLUDING COMMERCIAL WORK, PORTRAITS, WEDDINGS, AND TEACHING OUTDOOR WORKSHOPS. MY ENTHUSIASM REMAINS WITH THE BEAUTY & NATURAL WONDERS OF THE OUTDOORS AND WHAT IT HAS TO OFFER.
