With 14 years of professional experience under my belt, I specialize in portrait and event photography. Every project is tailored to your unique needs and perspective, and I strive to make you feel at ease throughout every shoot. Check out my portfolio and bio at stevenduarte.com.
I excel at connecting with people, allowing me to make even the most camera-shy clients feel comfortable in front of the lens. My technical skills extend to lighting and direction, but I always balance that with a patient and personable approach, resulting in candid and intimate photos.
I firmly believe that if you don't look good, I don't look good. That's why I prioritize ongoing communication with my clients during events, showing them images on the back of the camera and making adjustments as necessary. By staying on the same page, you can feel confident in the final product and your overall experience.

My daughter's Sweet 16 was a memorable event thanks to Steven's excellent photography skills. Not only was he professional throughout the entire process, from our initial meeting to the delivery of the final photos, but also a genuine joy to work with. I can't wait for the chance to collaborate with him again in the future!

Collaborating with Steven was an incredible experience! We enlisted his services to capture our son's Dol (Korean 1st birthday celebration). Prior to the event, we had several discussions about the party's objectives and how to seize the day's opportunities. On the day of the event, he arrived early to evaluate the venue and take some pre-celebration shots that I adore. The Dol had several intricate components, but he had prepared well in advance and knew all of the essential moments to capture. Despite it being a sweltering day, he was willing to brave the heat to take numerous family portraits. For four hours, he documented every activity beautifully. We are thrilled with the images that we'll treasure forever. Our family day was incredibly important, and we're grateful to have entrusted it to Steven's talented hands. I would gladly endorse him 100 times!

Working with Steven was an amazing experience! I'm definitely looking forward to collaborating with him again in upcoming events. His professionalism was top-notch as he was easy to communicate with and promptly responded both before and after the event. During our pre-event conversation, he quickly grasped my idea and went the extra mile by incorporating our sponsor logos into the photos. As we had to make a last-minute switch to an indoor venue, Steven remained flexible and arrived on time with his warm and friendly personality. He seamlessly blended in with our guests, capturing stunning images that brought the event to life. The best part was his ability to effortlessly share the pictures with us post-event. I strongly recommend him with a perfect 10 out of 10!

Incredible work! The results are of exceptional quality and the professionalism demonstrated is impeccable. This individual is undoubtedly an expert in their field and the investment was worth every penny.
As a first-timer in a professional shoot, I was admittedly nervous, but Steven made the experience seamless. He helped me choose the perfect outfit, ensured my comfort in the studio, provided expert posing guidance and even managed to bring out genuine smiles and laughter!
Being detail-oriented, I had high expectations, but Steven exceeded them all! Despite a tight deadline, he kept me informed throughout and delivered photos that I am incredibly proud of 😊. All the credit goes to him!
