ABOUT

Creative Director/Photographer

• 14 years behind the lens

• Ambassador to Paul C. Buff Inc. Lighting 

• 5 year member of the Professional Photographers of America

Practically born with a camera in his hands, Chicago based Steven M. Koch is quickly emerging as one of today's most creative photographers/videographers. 


Steven developed his art form from a family of photographers and illusionists. His diverse photographic repertoire includes gritty urban street life, and he is known Nationally for his carefully curated, and color-saturated portraiture of drag queens and kings.


“Lighting is EVERYTHING” states Steven, who does very subtle post-production editing. His work has appeared in countless magazines, ad campaigns, and art gallery exhibits. He also has a monthly column online in Go Pride. 


A camera is only as good as the eye behind the lens. From concept to the final shot, Steven’s heart and soul are reflected in every image that he masterfully produces.
