Steve has been a freelance commercial advertising photographer for over two decades. His vision and camera have combined on different subjects over the years to achieve the best possible images for the client. For Steve, the drive to achieve the perfect look transcends the business aspect of the shoot and becomes an outlet for his passion. He often says, " I get paid for doing what I love, what a slice!”

As a professional shooter utilizing all the camera tools from the recent past, ranging from the 8x10 and 4x5 large format view cameras to 35mm film, the transition to digital has been seamless. In 1997, with the introduction of Adobe Photoshop, Steve recognized the benefits of digital photography early on and embraced the new times. Today, projects are created incorporating all the magic of digital editing, manipulation and composition of images to deliver fast, spectacular results. One thing that has not changed, however, is the importance of good lighting. Steve's van is always ready to go loaded with top of the line lighting equipment and accessories.

Steve Brown started his photographic career in the "River North" area of Chicago, in a trendy loft studio blocks from Michigan Avenue. Clients have ranged from small independent boutique art studios to Fortune 500 corporations. Steve has been blessed over the years with working for some of the best advertising art directors in the industry, achieving creative solutions to difficult problems. Some of this shoots require the talents of many people and Steve's direction has proven effective time and again in making the project a reality.
