Steve Satushek

I was born in 1952 in Arlington, WA and I currently reside in Bellingham, WA. I have been a full time professional photographer since 1988 by selling the rights to my photos worldwide for advertising and editorial uses. I am a member of American Society of Media Photographers and Stock Artist Alliance.

Travels have taken me all over the US and Canada, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and Egypt. I was influenced early on by the color work of Ernst Haas, John-Chang McCurdy, and William Eggleston.

The wonders of nature have been my greatest muse. I worked in several national parks in the west from 1975-1979 and learned a great deal from professional landscape photographers who readily shared their ideas and tips with me while hiking the backcountry. My photo education has been self taught, with diligence and devotion as my curriculum and the joy of learning as my textbook.

In the past few years I have been exploring ways to display my photos as yard art. This is a result of a passion for gardening and landscaping that I share with my wife and two children here on our eight acre sanctuary with its grasslands, forest, and lush beachfront where the Nooksack River meets Bellingham Bay.
