Steven Chee

Bio

Over the past two decades, Steven Chee has built a reputation as one of Australia’s most preeminent photographers. His breathtaking fashion and beauty work is matched only by his reputation for being the very embodiment of calm, collaborative creativity. Indeed, his commitment to getting the shot means he strives to overdeliver on every brief. “I’m continuously learning and growing,” Steven says. “I love getting better and working with my team to bring us to the goals that are set – and exceeding them!” Steven’s natural ability to turn ideas and visions into mesmerising campaign imagery has seen him work with clients including Vogue, Louis Vuitton, Harpers Bazaar, Netflix, Tag Heuer, Olay, L'Oréal, Pantene, Brown Brothers, Swisse, and Uber. Recently he has diversified into motion imagery, delivering stunning video that perfectly complements his photography. My signature aesthetic is… technical. Polished. Beautiful. My favourite piece of work to date has been… my cover of Cate Blanchett for Harper’s Bazaar. It came at a time when my career was initially building, and it catapulted me into a new realm of work and success If I could shoot an editorial of anyone (living or dead) it would be… Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac My favourite location to shoot is… Queenstown, NZ. It changes every time I’ve been there. The landscape is in constant change from the seasons to the angles we view it from. There’s always an opportunity to be surprised and amazed. The most unusual place I’ve sourced a reference is… my own baby album. My favourite part of the job is… doing what I love for work – every day is a new challenge and experience. If I wasn’t a photographer, I would be working in… architecture. I got into photography and graphic design at the end of high school and chose photography then – but I would still love to explore architecture.
