Steve Ember
Artist Bio
Steve Ember is a photographer, writer, and voice actor based in the Washington D.C. area.
While partial to capturing the brawn, sinew, vitality, and drama of large cities including the spontaneity of "street" moments, he is also drawn to the charm of small town and countryside motifs, as well as nature's always stimulating variety.
Steve has never lost his appreciation for shooting film and continues to do so alongside his digital work. Aside from its equipment-tactile pleasures, he finds film shooting "a 'comfort food' in a sometimes too coldly technical milieu. It calms and keeps me connected to all the elements I had to learn back when I started out with film in my teens. I like to feel that the deliberateness that goes with shooting film also manages to inform at least some of my digital shooting."
In exhibiting his work, whether online or in galleries, Steve derives special pleasure in sharing with others the fruits of those usually solitary moments looking through the viewfinder, as well as some of those images' back-stories and adventures, whether in articles (https://medium.com/@emberphoto) or in "PhotoMoments" audio productions (https://soundcloud.com/steve-ember).
