Steve Smith
I'm originally from Illinois.
I like taking photos because I enjoy creating visual stories.
My favorite NYC venues to shoot in are the Library, the museums, art galleries, the Bowery Hotel.
My best tip to give people preparing to be shot in a photo is to relax, be themselves.
My biggest inspirations are people who devote themselves to caring for suffering people.
If I could do a shoot with anyone, living or dead, it would be Elizabeth I.
When I'm not taking photos, you can catch me enjoying the NY Botanical garden, walking in Central Park, cross country skiing, volunteering with programs that help hurting people in the city.
