Growing up, Steve Winter learned a great love of photography from his father and eventually graduated from the Academy of Art and the University of San Francisco. Right away, Black Star Photo Agency singed him on as one of their photographers and since then has taken images for Stern, GEO, Time, Newsweek, Fortune, Natural History, Audubon, Business Week, and Scientific America. However, currently he is working for National Geographic as he has for about two decades! Steve Winter's work is extremely raw and truthful in the eyes of nature, and his composition is very advanced. Not to mention his images have exquisite colors that complement and contrast each other. Recently though, tigers have been his main focus instead of his prior subjects that include snow leopards, jaguars, bears, and other beautiful creatures. Winter was even named BBC's wildlife photographer of the year in 2008 as well as got the first prize for Nature Story from World Press Photos in 2009. Most recently, he won the 69th Pictures of the Year International’s Global Vision Award for his story on tigers, and the 2013 Wildlife Photojournalist Award from BBC’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition.
So upon the theme of tigers that Winter has recently tried, I plan on taking some photos of my own 'tiger', leo, as well as other animals that can be found locally.
Wish me luck!
