About Stephen Bradley

 
 
  • Biography
    Fine art landscape photographer with a following and client list including actors Michael Sheen, Zoë Wanamaker, Adrian Lester and Emmanuelle Beart (female lead, Mission Impossible), Vogue Italia photo editor Alessia Glaviano, film producer Carrie Comerford and Guillermo Solana, Artistic Director, Museo Thyssen-Bornemusza, Madrid.

    Photographing scenery in Ireland, that can change at the blink of an eye, feeds my soul and makes me feel whole. Doing so also creates a deep and  primordial connection with place and time.

    In Private Collections:
    • London England.
    • Manhattan USA.
    • Munich Germany.

    Public Collection:
    • NMNI (Ulster Museum), Belfast

    An experienced professional lifestyle photographer (working in the UK and USA for clients including Coca Cola, Dunlop Sports USA, UPS, advertising agencies BBDO, JWT, and editorial clients including Newsweek, the LA Times and The Economist), I have recently widened my skillset by developing a Turneresque style of landscape photography I call Skyscapes.

    Photographing landscapes of my home country Northern Ireland, in a manner that pleases primarily myself, I feel like a child in a candy store - free to photograph whatever I want and in a style that excites and stimulates me.

    Before returning home to  Belfast, I lived and worked in Atlanta for 6 years shooting lifestyle photography for multinational editorial, corporate and agency clients. 

    While I enjoy photography, and working with my images on my Mac, doing so is as much a privilege as a pleasure. That others appreciate my work is icing on the cake.
