artist statement

Steven Harris has been working in photography for over 25 years. At 16, he began studies in Bloomington, Indiana, later studying fine art photography at Indiana University with Jeffrey Wolin. He was accepted to the Ansel Adams workshop — an intensive, hands-on environment that greatly influenced his photography. This was a pivotal point in his experience as a photographer. Steven Harris later lived in Amsterdam for three years to pursue his personal work. As a professional photographer currently working in New York City he continues creating images as a visual artist and collaborating on many projects, including performances in the Guggenheim Museum and published images for several art books and magazines. Photography was never thought about in terms of a life direction but persued intuitively, a decision that was never regretted by Steven Harris.
