Steph Light

Portrait of Steph Light

With a background in IT, I've always been drawn to design as much as to technology. About a year ago that pull led me behind a lens — and what keeps me there is people, or more precisely, what people don't say out loud. A photograph, for me, isn't really about the person in frame. It's about the emotion they're willing to offer that moment, and the trust it takes to give it.

The light I use

Available light

Whatever the room already has. A window, a street lamp, a screen.

Low light

The hour when most people put the camera away.

Handheld

No tripod, so I can move with you instead of just posing you.
