About me

Stephen Bennett bought his first 35mm camera in 1973. Soon a string of prize winning exhibition prints inspired him to take photography seriously, and his fishing and camping photos, with articles written around them, began to sell consistently to magazines within three years. The rest as they say is history and my work has been published in many magazines and books in Australia and overseas including the USA, Germany and South Africa. I have pursued many styles, genres and subject matter over the last thirty five or so years, but my speciality has always been in Glamour, Portraiture and Model/Actor Portfolio Photography, and Stock Photography of natural history and wildlife, and outdoor recreation. My interest in film and video also began early on, (back when 16mm and super 8 were the norm) and my motion work has appeared in Australian television news and documentary programs over many years. Having been based in both Newcastle and Sydney for far too long, I now live on the more relaxing Central Coast of New South Wales, with The Lady Marian, and my ever faithful Golden Retriever, Bodhi.
