Award winning photographer Steven Cavanah hails from the island of Marathon, FL and is a descendant of Florida pioneers dating back to the 1800’s. His deep appreciation for the wild land of Florida intersected with the inspirational work of photographers Ansel Adams and Clyde Butcher. This combination results in the perfect blend of technical and artistic qualities through large format photography. His engineering background and artistic eye bring you the natural beauty of Florida through large format photography.
“The darkroom is an artistic release for a technical mind. The level of patience required in the darkroom only magnifies the hours spent out in nature with the camera. Waiting for the right composition, the right light, the right calm moment to trip the shutter offers a chance to stop and simply enjoy God’s Creation.”
Just as his landscapes connect us to the simplicity of nature, Steven’s large format photography harkens back to a simpler time. In a complete departure from the digital world, his process is analog from start to finish. Using technology and techniques from the 1800’s he captures images, develops film and crafts fine art silver gelatin prints in his darkroom.
