About Me

Greetings. Steve Hlavac here. I'm a fashion, portrait, and fine art photographer (and a bit of an upstart filmmaker) based in Central Florida. I've also been known to wander to destinations far beyond on occasion...

I have more than two decades of experience as an artist and commercial still shooter, much of it in Miami where I ran a photo studio in South Beach years ago. After some time away from the fashion business, I am trying to come back with a vengeance. This means putting together a completely new book, networking again with local talent to form creative teams for great projects, and ultimately providing quality work for clients and publications. And while I may live in a small market now, my fashion vision and esthetic is still big city editorial and advertising.

I am equally comfortable shooting in a studio with lights, or on location with or without. Color, black & white, or anything in between. And I am starting to dabble in video. big_smile

To me, fashion photography is not about simply making the subject look good. It's about styling - wonderful clothes and strong concepts blending perfectly with a model's looks and attitude and the scene's location and lighting. 

I strive for shots that provide visual and emotional impact and have a purpose, and my goal is to find modeling and styling talent on the same wavelength.

Yes, I trade-out test. Most experienced pros do. Shoots without paying clients are sometimes the most creative and most fun. I am also very good and very patient with those just starting out in the business, both models and stylists. i'm willing to give you a chance, but, you will probably need to fit into a look or a project I already have in mind. Still, I'm always open to ideas. Feel free to message me about anything anytime.

My web site http://www.photoasylum.com and my Facebook Fan Page http://www.facebook.com/photoasylum are great ways to keep up with some of my shenanigans...

A warm thank you to those here that support me and comment on my work! I wish you all the best and success as well...
