About our Speaker: Steve Hopson
Steve Hopson began photography with a High School graduation present camera from his parents (a Pentax Spotmatic). Within a few days, he found himself at the base of an Interstate overpass in Houston trying to make the concrete columns look like Roman ruins. Within a few years, he found himself taking Art Photography from Garry Winogrand at UT Austin. Now, many years later, Steve has explored most genres of photography with special emphasis on portraits, landscape, street photography, macro, travel, and music photography. His commercial clients include Rolling Stone, Budweiser, MSNBC, C3 Presents, Transmission Entertainment, Microsoft, J. Walter Thompson, and TBG Partners. His work has been exhibited as part of the New American Talent show in the Arthouse at Jones Center and other museums, and he regularly contributes photo essays to Austinist.com. Steve holds a Bachelor of Science from UT Austin in Radio, Television and Film and a Master of Public Administration degree from Texas State University, and is currently employed as a Policy Analyst for the Texas Sunset Commission. Steve doesn't think that there will ever be another photographer as great as Henri Cartier-Bresson, but that doesn't stop him from giving it his best shot.
