Profile : Steve Allen
I was a professional Industrial / Commercial photographer for over 26 years, before leaving commissioned work to become a full-time 'Stock' Photographer. I first started shooting stock in 1972 as a suppliment to my commissioned work, however, since early 2001 my entire income has come from shooting 'Stock' images.
I have over 110,000 image placements in my current multi-agency portfolio.
Most of my income comes from the range of mainstream agencies I submit to. The 11 microstock sites I submit to now produce about 25% of my total income.
Well over half of my work is now Travel or Wildlife Photography.
I'm a 'travelaholic' and have so far visited 96 countries & territories on all seven continents, including both Antarctica and the Arctic (Greenland, Svalbard Islands and the North Atlantic sea ice).

Camera Equipments
Canon 5D Mk1V with a Canon 5D Mk111 as my backup camera. Plus a wide range of Canon lenses and accessories from 15mm fisheye to 500mm telephoto. I also have a 90mm tilt/shift lens which is really useful for studio tabletop work and architectural photography. In the studio I use mostly Elinchrom lighting equipment. I also use a 'Hosemaster' fibre-optic 'light painting' system. My computers and laptops are all "high-end" Apple Mac Pro running Photoshop CC & Adobe RAW. Every image is meticulously retouched and corrected to the highest standards. I make a continual investment in new technology and have a 100% digital workflow.
