A very big name in glamour photography passed away in the past few days. Some of you may know who Stephen Hicks, others may not. He was a very influential photographer in the glamour field. He is best known for taking beautiful images of beautiful girls in natural light. I met him once and he was a kind, fun loving, very active man. This comes as a shock to many of the people in his field. May he RIP

I was lucky enough to assist/work with Stephen in the late 80's! His attitude on life and photography was great... very positive  guy a special human. Everyone that knew him is surprised that he would go before others, with his lifestyle.. big fitness and outdoors guy! Working with him deffenatly influenced my photography, in a nice way! Much more to say,
but i'll keep it short! : )

RIP
Steve
