STEVEN WEBB - STATEMENT

For over twenty years I have documented the social and aesthetic climate of Latin America, complemented with extensive travels in Europe, Africa, and Asia. My working method in these areas could best be described as ‘street style’ in approach. The American West offers a more meditative approach to visualization. What results are un-peopled images, although the hand of man is often evident. By attempting to frame (re-frame) the world in my own way, hopefully, I am able to reveal it in a unique and truthful spirit. -- Steven Webb
