Steve Smith
Steve hard at work in front of the office

Steve has been an avid fan of 'the visual arts' since his teenage years when he purchased his first Agfamatic camera from the Sears catalog with money he made from part time jobs. Having spent many years as an avid photography buff, in 2000, a career opportunity took him to Hong Kong for two years. After spending many months travelling around Asia armed with a new camera, the lure of digital brought Steve back to photography as his main interest.

As 'Principal Partner', Steve founded World of Stock in 2003 and has been improving and growing it ever since. His background in high tech, in addition to his love of the graphic arts has cumulated in what you see here now, and there's more to come.....Steve is really enjoying the chance to work with such a creative and talented group of people as the photographers who contribute to this site.

Steve has been very fortunate to have traveled extensively throughout Asia, Europe the South Pacific and North America. He also writes and is a regular contributor to 'Digital Photographer' and other magazines and is available for commercial, event or editorial projects in the Vancouver area of British Columbia.

Howie Garber

Howie Garber in Utah

 

Howie is a professional landscape, wildlife and adventure sports photographer. He has lived in Salt Lake City, Utah for over 30 years. He has won national and international awards for his work. Howie’s interest in photography dates to 1969 when he took a “History of Photography” class while at the University of Rochester. He remained an amateur for many years. In 1990 he traveled to Nepal, his first trip outside the U.S. and shot 40 rolls of film while trekking for a month. This convinced him to spend more time with his cameras. While traveling in South America during 1991, his wanderlust was rewarded with an incredible stroke of luck. On his birthday, he was picked up while hitch-hiking by a Brazilian biologist who was doing jaguar research. Experiencing the wonder of observing wildlife in natural habitats was an incentive to improve his photography skills. Since then he has traveled and photographed extensively in places like Peru, Antarctica, Brazil, China, Kenya, England, Alaska, Australia and Switzerland. 

Howie’s images have been published as book, magazine, and video covers; and in calendars, screen savers and greeting cards. Some of his recent clients include Newsweek, National Geographic, Patagonia, Anheuser Busch, the Sierra Club, National Audubon Society, Greenpeace, and ColdWater Creek. In 1997, he received a prestigious award from the British Broadcasting Corporation. Howie won the Wild Places (Landscape) category of the BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year contest. That same year, his photo of two mountain goats won the Endangered Places photo contest sponsored by Outdoor Photographer Magazine, Mamiya and Lowepro. During the summer of 2000, his work was featured in Nikon World. His work has been exhibited at the Smithsonian Museum and the Museum of Natural History in London. In 2004, his image of a caiman won the Animals in their Environment Category of the BBC contest. His National photo awards have been from Nature’s Best Magazine and National Wildlife Magazine.

Since 1983, Garber has worked as an Emergency Physician at small and large hospitals all over Western U.S. and Alaska.According to Howie "I find that there are many similarities in my two professions. Every day as an outdoor photographer is different and often full of surprises. Your success depends on multiple factors-weather, planning, animal behavior and luck. In the hospital and in the field, you must accept that many factors are out of your control. In the same way that providing good health care is a team approach, my success as a photographer has likewise been dependent on a team of wildlife biologists, gifted athletes, pilots, river guides and others who have contributed to my success. One of the challenges that remains is how to use my photography as a tool for conservation. Artistically capturing pure beauty seems hedonistic and socially irresponsible at times. It is important to document what we are trying to save as well as what we are destroying at a fast pace." Howie shoots 35mm, medium format, panoramic film cameras and digital.

Seb Rogers

 

Seb claims not to have set out to become a mountain bike photographer, but more than a decade after having his first bike images published he’s one of the UK’s leading photographers of all things fat-tyred and human-propelled. His editorial work appears most months in market-leading magazines like Mountain Biking UK and What Mountain Bike, whilst his stock images have found a worldwide market in newspapers, books, magazines and advertising. 

Nearly 20 years’ experience as a rider gives Seb a unique ability to capture the spirit, broad appeal and thrill of mountain biking. Commissioned shoots have taken him to many of the world’s riding hotspots, from Nepal and Borneo to British Columbia and the French Alps. Clients appreciate Seb’s ability to work under pressure, often in less than ideal circumstances, and still come back with original and inspiring images. Seb lives with his partner and young family at the foot of England’s Mendip Hills.
