photography is something that started out as a hobby for steve trapero. in 2004, steve got his first digital camera, a lowly 3.2 megapixel point and shoot camera. a year later, and some 20,000 images shot, steve knew this was becoming more than a mere hobby.
in 2005, steve licensed his first 3 images to book publishers. 2 years later, steve bought his next digital camera, a much higher end 9.1 megapixel camera.
prior to 2007, steve had only taken one b&w film photography class, while studying graphic design at art center college of design. although he enjoyed the class immensely, he opted not to spend the thousands of dollars needed to be a serious photographer back then. in 2007, steve took his second photography class to refresh his understanding of manual settings, and to learn about studio lighting.
today, steve continues to improve his skills and shoots an amazing variety of photographic genres, including abstract, commercial, children, food, product, creative, portrait, casual fashion, hi-fashion, glamour, bikini & swimsuit, lingerie, pin-up, fetish, goth, horror, cosplay, body painting, implied nudes, nudes, and erotica. keep this in mind when reviewing steve's work, the slideshow has quite a variety of samples, something from just about every category of which he shoots. enjoy!
