If we may quote Steve from his web site:
"In the early nineties, during a safari holiday, he began photographing animals, and within a short time he had swapped his established city career for the precarious life of an international travelling photographer. Steve Bloom’s concern for the environment is strongly evident in his wildlife images. He strives to capture the animal’s spirit, and blur the lines separating different species. His photographs of people reveal a compassionate understanding of his subjects, evident in his books Living Africa and Trading Places: The Merchants of Nairobi."
"He has won international awards for his work, including The Power of Photography Award, The Golden Eye of Russia, and Lucie Awards. Numerous magazine publishers such as Life, Time, Terre Sauvage, National Geographic, Geo, Airone, and Geographic, as well as many photographic publications, have featured his pictures. His own books have been published internationally in over seventy editions. He has had a number of exhibitions, both current and in the planning stage, including large outdoor exhibitions in city centres. The free outdoor exhibitions, promoting environmental issues, are major events staged in conjunction with city authorities, and attract visitor numbers in the millions."
"Steve Bloom is an accomplished speaker, and has lectured at venues such as The Royal Geographical Society, The Natural History Museum, The Edinburgh Book Festival, Travellers Tales Festival, Bath Festival for Children's Literature, The Durham Book Festival, BJP Vision, Focus on Imaging and Wildphotos. He has presented numerous talks and held book signings for corporations such as Waterstones, Blackwells, Borders and IPC Magazines."
