About Steve Austin, Master Photographer in Fine Art

Steve Austin has 20+ years of experience as a professional photographer — though his interest in the medium dates back nearly as far as he can recall, Austin was 10 years old when he used his first camera an old polaroid instamatic he received as a gift and from there knew was hooked.  “I remember as a kid looking through the National Geographic magazines and Beautiful British Columbia magazines,” says Austin. “They were so inspiring to me, those images were like candy, I could not get enough, all I knew was I wanted to do that and go there more than anything.”

Austin grew up in Edmonton, Alberta and studied fine arts at the Alberta College of Art and then moved his education to the New York Institute of Photography to refine his skills. He is now based in British Columbia’s picturesque Okanagan Valley where he has his focus on capturing fine art landscape and still life, often featuring environmentally sensitive habitats.  “When you’re in that moment of time where you blend into the tapestry of your surroundings and you just become part of the scene, where you able to capture that fleeting moment of time where it will never be the same ever again it is spiritual to me.”  “Part of the magic is in the setup, the intention and dreaming up projects I have in my mind.”  Austin’s camera techniques, his methodology and the environment he seeks out separates him from other photographers.

Interest in his work has been growing steadily, both locally in Canada and internationally, Steve has received the designation of MASTER PHOTOGRAPHER in FINE ART and has opened his own gallery located in Kelowna, British Columbia in December of 2020.
