About Stephen
My photography to me isn’t simply a face value representation of what is in front of me. It incorporates my vision, beliefs, respect, humor and spiritual guidelines. It can go from faithfulness and truth to an abstraction of what I see. In much of what I shoot I try to honor what is and who is there. A documentation of what and who exist and what and who once existed. A love for that which I am connected to. A way to connect with what I see, and to help others connect as well. There are no coincidences in life. Only connections.
I am a freelance photographer. I have worked for many years with and continue to work with the National Museum of the American Indian among other clients. I have traveled a great deal in the Southwest and have been photographing it’s landscape’s, ruins and Native Americans past and present for well over 15 years. I am an adopted Navajo and I am extremely proud of this honor.
I have been doing nature photography for a short time but find that it feeds my need for nature, solitude, peace and the outdoors. I am not shooting nature, it is allowing me to shoot. And for this I am thankful.
Peace,
Stephen Lang
