About Steve Ember

I am 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. I am also drawn to the charm of small town and countryside motifs, as well as nature's always stimulating variety.

I have never lost my appreciation for shooting film and continue to do so alongside my digital work. Aside from its equipment-tactile pleasures, I find 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 my work, whether online or in galleries, I derive 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. I also enjoy sharing some of my photography/travel experiences at https://medium.com/@emberphoto and at SteveEmber.com
