Award winning photographic services by Steven 'Sven' Duncan
(43)
I believe photography is about portraying a scene in ways that people recognise, but at the same time, have never witnessed before. Anyone can take a photo of a scene, but I want to show the world what I can create through my lens in ways that are unique and yet completely relatable to other people who have witnessed the same scene. Crafting most of my photographs require careful planning and pati
ence, which from a glance of the result can seem simple, however I cannot control the weather, the light, and the majority of subjects I take photos of are immovable. I carefully weigh all of these factors into creating my art and the result are my numerous award-winning creations. Wedding photography is an area I was naturally drawn to, my disarming personality and ability to make people comfortable around me allows my images to show true emotion in my subjects. All throughout my life I’ve worked with people, so this is simply natural progression for me, and according to feedback I’ve received it’s very much appreciated. For my landscape work, I draw much of my inspiration from the indefatigable Adelaide-based landscape photographer, David Evans, and as such I tend to use a lot of long exposure techniques in my work, most obvious with my astro and waterfall photographs. Long exposure photography allows me to capture a series of events, or longer moments in time that the human eye cannot otherwise capture in a scene, hence helping me in my goal of showing the world what people recognise, but still be unique about it. Having lived in Japan for 2 years, much of my work portrays a landscape of Japan not many people tend to associate with the country. I enjoy showing people the vivid colours and rolling landscapes of the countryside of Japan, along with traditional architecture and her vibrant people.
“There is a reason why Japan consumes the most cameras in the world”
Other notable work focuses on the stunning landscapes around Australia and the South Pacific ocean, where I have travelled extensively over the last 5 years, solely for the sake of documenting it’s scenery in my own style of photography. I have completed a Degree in Multimedia at the University of South Australia, a Certificate IV in Photoimaging at TAFE SA and a Masters in Teaching at Flinders University.
