Photography has become Steven’s primary medium for weaving narratives, sparking dialogue, and capturing moments that transcend cultural and geographical boundaries. Through his lens, he finds meaning in fleeting moments and creates imagery that evokes deep emotion and reflection.

An alumnus of the University of Pennsylvania, Steven holds advanced degrees in Psychology and Education, blending his academic background with a multifaceted career as an entrepreneur and educator.

A committed professional, Steven is a member of the National Press Photographers Association, the International Freelance Photographers Organization, and the Professional Photographers of America, and is also an active member of the Philly Shutter Club—further connecting him to the vibrant local photography community.

Through Art Imagined Photography, Steven continues to explore themes of identity, culture, and human connection, inviting viewers into scenes that celebrate life’s complexity and beauty.

“What enthralls me most is the myriad forms of human expression and the vibrant diversity of cultures. Through my lens, I strive to capture the essence of life, the beauty of nature, and the interconnectivity that binds us all together in our shared humanity. Each photograph is an exploration of these elements, offering a glimpse into the moments that define us and the stories that connect us.”

His work stands as a powerful testament to the unifying potential of photography, inviting audiences to see the world—and themselves—with fresh perspective and empathy.
