Steve
Bloom is well known throughout the world for
his evocative images of wildlife. He combines knowledge,
skill, artistry, tenacity and considerable energy to
produce powerful images of the natural world.
Born in South Africa, he moved to England in 1977 where
he worked for many years in the graphics industry. In
the early nineties he changed career to adopt the precarious
life of a professional nature photographer. Such a lifestyle
needs uncompromising passion and commitment. His images
are widely published, and he has won awards, gaining
international recognition for his work.
Steve’s concern for the environment is strongly
evident in his images. In Untamed, he writes: “I
am humbled by the opportunities I have had to witness
the diversity of life in so many places, and I hope
to share such experiences. Photography is the means
by which I strive to engender in others a feeling of
unity with the natural world. There remains the ongoing
challenge to portray life in all its manifestations,
and create images that reveal the very essence of what
it is to be a living being.”
