Steven P. Love

I grew up in Michigan but moved to Arizona in 1995 to escape the cold Michigan Winters. I've aways had a secret passion for art and photography.

I did not get my first computer, a Gateway Laptop, until 2002. This was when I gained my first exposure to the Internet and the media of Digital Art and Digital Photography. Most of my prior artistic experience was in the traditional mediums of oil and air brush painting and some film photography. Digital was a brand new medium for me to explore. Being a fan of Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Surreal art I started off my Digital exploration by creating Sci-Fi Art using simple programs such as Microsoft Picture It and a free program I downloaded from the Internet called GIMP.

I posted my first creations in a gallery at a site known as ELFWOOD back in 2004, where I still have a gallery today.

I also took up Digital Photography at about the same time using a little 4 megapixel Fuji A340.

After that my knowledge of Digital Art and Photography then began to grow at an almost geometrical rate. After many collaborations with other artists and a few commissions I decided to take my skills into the professional realm in 2006.

My first professional camera was an Olympus E-300. I used that to take stock oriented photos which are still for sale on the micro stock sites iSTOCK, BIGSTOCK and FOTOLIA.

I have since upgraded to an Olympus E-500 and E-510, Photoshop CS2 and a MacBookPro Laptop for my Photo editing and Digital renderings.

I have also expanded my art and photography galleries to include ALAMY, DREAMSTIME, IMAGEKIND and REDBUBBLE.

In late 2007 I decided to go full time into my Digital Art and Photography services.
