A Unique Way to Photograph Life On The Street with Steve Rolfe

#366 Urban Street Photographer Steve Rolfe he was inspired by a
book of Street Photography, which provided the fuel for his
creativity.. He explains how, with his own figures, he began to
capture stories of the world around him. Finally, after having
some of his work published, he decided to leave his job in 2014
and go professional. Host Raymond Hatfield also talks about what
captivates him in certain stories or series within photography.


Steve Rolfe has been a professional photographer since 2014, when
he took a leap of faith and left his 22-year-long job in the
civil service. His journey to success began when he picked up a
book of street photography and was captivated by the images.
Steve then purchased a bridge camera and began experimenting with
creating miniature architectural figures, which were eventually
published in magazines and newspapers. He continues to use this
creative process in his work as a professional photographer.

experiment and find inspiration in quirky, everyday objects or
scenes.

The Power of Simplicity: Simple stories and minimal
compositions often have the greatest impact—don’t overcomplicate
your images.

project over time; persistence and gradual improvement yield
remarkable results.

with your work over external validation. Authenticity drives
growth.
