by Steve Dunwell-MA
Monday, October 28, 7:30 PM


Architectural subjects are everywhere, providing fascinating opportunities for photographic exploration. The built environment tells us a lot about who we are, and who we hope to be. Greek temple, Gothic church, Baroque palace, urban labyrinth, Modernist or Minimalist - each is a new challenge. Our speaker will share examples and stories from decades of work in this arena, with an emphasis on practical solutions and creative interpretation.

Our speaker is Boston’s premiere landscape, aerial and architecture photographer who makes photographs of New England – its architecture, landscape, and industry – for publications, for collectors, and for advertising. Design has been a primary interest for decades, combining his love of structures, engineering, city planning, history and urban life.

As a premier creator of Boston-themed images, Steve is always making new views of his city. Panoramic and aerial images are a key part of this archive, used in many photo books. His book ‘Extraordinary Boston’ celebrates our city on the hill with new and surprising vantage points.

He is world-renowned for his assignment work, Boston stock library, and fine photography books. His commercial clients include architects, planners, and developers. Editorial clients include General Electric, Dwell, Smithsonian, Yankee, Geo, Preservation, Boston Magazine, Children's Hospital, Mass Mutual and Colliers.

Dedicated to historic preservation, he is part of Boston’s Historic District Commission. A life-long advocate for photographer’s rights, he has been a president of the ASMP. He is also the creator of Back Bay Press, and its photography books. The USPS chose one of his aerial views for one of its “Earthscape” stamps-Forever.

Steve lives in the Bay Village neighborhood of Boston. His photographs are included in numerous corporate and private collections. Ongoing interests include aerial video, drone operations, textile mills and local history. To see more of his images and view his blog please go to www.stevedunwell.com
