I am a fashion, beauty, glamour and fine art photographer. January will mark 20 years I've been in the business.
I am the former Editor in Chief of Savvy.com. I also work for the
MavTV television network, which produces television programs such as "Bikini AllStars" and "Fitness Beauties." I'm constantly scouting fresh faces to be a
Mav Girl of the Day. Contact me if you're interested in the exposure. I'm constantly referring models to appear on our shows.
Looking for Makeup artists and stylists who are interested in testing so please don't hesitate to ask.
Thanks for checking out my Portfolio. PLEASE do not send me a friend request without first introducing yourself. If I don't add you as a friend, don't take it personally. I usually only add people who have expressed an interest in hiring me or who have a marketable look. Thank you.

COMMERCIAL RATES:
Please contact me regarding my rates as they vary depending on the assignment. Please be specific with details. Half-day and full-day packages require advance notice and a non-refundable 50% deposit to be paid no later than 72 hours after booking a shooting date. If you have a cancellation we can reschedule.
I am also an award-winning writer, journalist and copy-editor -- skills that enhance my ability to contribute to your publication. Please review
my web site for samples of my photography, writing and videography.
To call and inquire about my services, please dial (256) 697-4059 between 9 am-10 pm EST. OR send me a message via MM or write to stevenstiefelATmeDOTcom
TESTING POLICY:
Models, if I'm shooting for your benefit and for your book, I will charge you for my services. If you are interested in collaborating on something we can discuss that, but keep in mind that I usually only test for free with models who are open-minded, very experienced and/or have a marketable look. Don't be offended if things don't work out.
I'm happy to work with beginning models on developing their portfolios. I've worked with both new and experienced models, and can provide as much advice and direction as is needed to get the most from a photo shoot. Rates for model web content and portfolio/comp cards are negotiable to fit your budget and the scope of the photo shoot. I'm very reasonably priced for what you get as I don't have to rely on photography full-time to make a living.
For models seeking paid work, feel free to inquire about current projects but keep in mind I only need paid models in situations where the assignment is already commercial/client based; otherwise -
I do NOT pay models for portfolio/general shooting; TFCD is reserved and very limited as such for the very best faces and looks. I appreciate your understanding. If I chose to shoot you for my portfolio, I will give you DVD of my retouched/edited selects for free (usually 4-5). Any images you choose above and beyond that are $15 per image for retouching)
PHOTO EDUCATION:
I am an instructor for photography workshops and also offer private training for those who may not like the workshop environment.

LOCATION PHOTOGRAPHY:
For the next few months, I am based in Fort Payne, Alabama. This is a beautiful place at the foothills of Appalachia. I have a national park on one side of me and a state park on the other. I'm also available to travel with some notice (100 miles to Atlanta, 106 miles to Bham, 117 miles to Nashville, 300 miles to Pensacola, 253 miles to Louisville, 409 miles to New Orleans...)
Note: Planning to re-locate to Pensacola in the near future.
REFERRALS:
"Steven hired me for an assignment where those same photos were seen by the editors of nationally-known SHAPE magazine. The pictures landed me not just one but two spots in the Feb & April `05 issues. Much appreciation to Steven's incredible skill & talent I was able to reach a fitness modeling goal for 2004."
- Kelly Layne (Model)
"I've had the opportunity to work with Steven on a few commercial assignments, and he is great to work with. He's very professional and fun to work with!"
- Fern Lloyd, (Model)
“I can honestly say that (Steven) has been a huge promoter of my name and work. In many ways, I feel the site has pushed my online ‘celebrity’ status up quite a lot. Have I referred other models? ABSOLUTELY! I'm so glad Steven allowed me to edit it before it was posted. A lot of magazines would have taken that and run with it, but Steven was considerate enough to let me choose.”
- Danielle Bae (Model)
“Steven is an extremely professional person to work with and very easygoing. I was able to contact him on a moment’s notice. I enjoyed working with him and would welcome the opportunity to do so again.”
- Shae Norris, Shaenorris.com, (Model/Actor)
“Steven was great. I felt really comfortable and at ease with the whole thing.”
