About
After working in the music industry for almost 20 years and photographing some of the world’s biggest artists and bands, photographer Steve Gerrard, based in Birmingham, is now extending his services to officially include family portraits and wedding photography.
“I love the variety that my work allows me. One afternoon I went straight from photographing a gorgeous 6-week old baby to photographing the singer from heavy metal band, Slipknot!” says Steve. It’s why one magazine editor named Steve the “Jekyll & Hyde of photography”.
Running the business with his Canadian wife, Evelyne, Steve’s approach to photographing his subjects may be different to what people are used to.
“My aim is to give people an experience which is fun, relaxed and away from the artificial confines of a photographic studio,” Steve says. “Children especially don’t always feel comfortable stuck in a white room with bright lights flashing in their faces. I always work on location, photographing people at home or in their favourite place, using natural light and aiming to capture people’s true personalities. It’s more fun for them and it’s certainly more fun for us too.”
His wedding photography mirrors this approach and produces beautiful images which perfectly capture the spirit of the big day.
“These days most couples are looking for something much more natural and creative. We still make sure we have some great portraits of the bride and groom and their guests, but my aim is to produce an album which acts as a photographic narrative of the wedding, with candid images capturing the emotion, excitement and fun of the occasion.”
Over the years, Steve has photographed a wide variety of artists from Metallica, Girls Aloud and Radiohead to Peter Kay, Juliette Lewis and the infamous Pete Doherty. His images have graced the pages of magazines such as NME, Kerrang! and Live 24-Seven as well as Professional Photographer magazine, which recently published a 4-page feature on Steve and his photography.
It is his unique approach which allows Steve to find the true essence and personality of the people he photographs.
A photograph is a memory captured forever. Make sure yours are ones you’ll treasure for life.
