Shooting for over 30 years, Steve is living his dream. With an immense passion for the world of photography and what it brings, Steve loves creating and capturing emotion – connecting people through an image. Inspired by Richard Avedon, Steve strives to create perennial work that is influential and evokes sentiment. 

His style is simple yet engaging and draws on aspects of whatever moment and situation he is put in to approach the brief with his own creative direction. He has worked with a diverse range of personalities, which is what he loves. Such subjects include Naomi Watts, Powderfinger, Nicole Kidman, Ben Lee, Curtis Stone, Usain Bolt, Sam Smith and clients such as Network Ten, Billabong, Southern Cross Austereo, ABC made, UBER, Coles and BHP amongst an extensive list of others. He has done covers for Rolling Stone, Womens Health and Sunday Life magazines as well as shooting various major events from music to the Olympic Games.

Starting his career as a cadet photographer at Fairfax media, he learnt the disciplines of getting as much technically right and not relying heavily on post production work. Steve’s secret is to put in a lot of effort to providing a tranquil and comfortable atmosphere and his friendly, down to earth persona makes this possible. Steve published his first book with Harper Collins entitled EXPRESSIONS a few years back now. It was a collection of portraits that is a testament to the intimate relationship Baccon finds with his subjects.
