Steven Power
I am and have been a Member of the Royal Photographic Society from 2018 - albeit Covid gave a temporary pause to membership which is being renewed.
I am an exhibited photographer having been part of shows at the "London Lighthouse Gallery & Studio, London City Island, E14 "Foyles Gallery", "Conningsby Gallery and Strand Gallery" in London between 2011-14. I have had worked published in QX Magazine, featured in The Independent Online, the National Athletics Association (NAL) and have had my work shown on BBC Live. I won the London Literary Photography Award from Foyles in July 2013. I have exhibited at the Riverside Studio, Hammersmith and the Guidlhall London in 2016/2017. I have recently exhibited at the Espacio Gallery in Bethnal Green, London 2018 and 2019.
Many of the images on this website explore the power and determination of athletics, the beauty of nature, urban landscapes, street photography and studio portraits. I feel an affinity with each category and subject, each one captures a special moment, a primal force of nature a primal aspect of the world as i see it.
Any of the models portrayed on this website are either new to modelling or semi experienced. The shoot undertaken with each models enables them to gain experience and receive images for use in their portfolio. Further work from their shoot enables me to push the model for more extraordinary images for my exhibitions, book and magazine work. My intention is to portray the outer and sometimes inner beauty of people, including their physiques, or looks and then take it further, digging deeper into a more primal take on life and form. I often use props, locations and backgrounds to elaborate on a story. Recent work with models has included my interpretations of scenes from fables, ancient stories as well as scenes from famous paintings.
NAL athletic shots are supplied free to the athletes competing and the NAL. It is hoped that various works from the National events will be part of future exhibitions and publications.
