Stephen L. Garrett
- Actual Human
Based in the Chicago area, I help academics, production companies, and communications leaders translate complex ideas into award-winning, moving, effective stories, driving engagement and fostering authentic connections with diverse audiences through photography and video production.
My aim is to bring premium, ethical, authentic documentary story-telling skills to every project large and small.
My multimedia career spans over 18 years and has taken me to locations across the US and to 17 countries as a field producer, cinematographer, and photographer. I’ve produced hundreds of photos and videos, with thousands of subjects in higher education, international development, and with small businesses and individuals.
My keen eye for composition, lighting, and my ability to capture emotion makes my photography stand out from the crowd. I’m keenly following the work of the Content Authenticity Initiative and I am a member of the American Society of Media Photographers.
I’m available for photography and video production commissions internationally.
