Introduction
I'm a portrait and event photographer with 15 years of professional experience behind the camera in NYC, LA, and Boston. Please review my photography work on my website and reach out there directly with any questions. One of my strengths is that I am a people person - I have the ability to ease all my clients to feel comfortable during our time. I am skilled technically with lighting and direction while still being very patient and personable. This balance I believe is the key to my candid and intimate photos. I always tell my clients "If you don't look good, I don't look good". I make it a priority to check in with you throughout my process, to show you images on the back of the camera. This way we stay on the same page and you're able to walk away feeling great about your photos and experience.

Working with Steven was an exceptional experience. As an artist who has toured the world and collaborated with many photographers, I can confidently say that Steven stands out. His punctuality, responsiveness, and professionalism were evident from the start. He welcomed my input and was open to creative suggestions, although I had very few because his work was already outstanding. Steven's ability to provide direction was particularly impressive. He effortlessly guided strangers and showed remarkable patience and skill in directing children, ensuring they felt comfortable and looked their best. This level of expertise made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. I will undoubtedly be working with Steven again in the near future. His dedication to his craft and his client-focused approach make him a top choice for any photography needs.

Steven's photography was exceptional. He took the time to capture the perfect shots for our conference and even engaged with our attendees to understand the audience and the subject matter. He demonstrated incredible attention to detail, capturing stunning images that truly reflected the spirit of our event. We couldn't be happier with his work and would love to have the opportunity to work with him again.

10/10 Absolutely recommend Steven Duarte!! I hired Steven to shoot my birthday party recently, and it was such a smooth and seamless process, only made better by the fact that my pictures came out amazing. I couldn’t have asked for a better OR a more professional photographer. Sometimes speaking to people I don’t know makes me anxious, especially in situations like this, but every phone call, email, and conversation with Steven from the consult to the actual party made me feel extremely comfortable and knowing that he took the time to understand my vision and the vibe I wanted my pictures to give off, gave me one less thing to worry about. And when you’re planning a party you know how important that is! I could not recommend Steven enough, and can’t wait until my next party (hopefully my wedding) to hire him again! He also took the loveliest photos of my dog, during my pre-party get ready session!

I had an incredible experience working with Steven for our recent photo shoot. Originally, we were seeking clean head shots, but Steven’s creative vision and enthusiasm completely transformed our session. He suggested showcasing not just us, but also our home staging business, which initially seemed daunting but turned out to be an inspired idea. Steven is not just a photographer; he’s a fantastic director who guided us effortlessly through the entire shoot. His ability to capture both our personalities and the essence of our business in the photos was truly remarkable. Despite my hesitations, Steven’s professionalism and skill quickly put me at ease. The results were beyond what we imagined. The photos are not only beautiful but also perfectly encapsulate our brand and the atmosphere we wanted to convey. I highly recommend Steven for anyone looking not just for photographs, but for a creative partner who can elevate your vision to new heights. Thank you, Steven, for an outstanding experience and stunning photos!

Steven was so incredible to work with! We recently used him for our annual Hope on the Harbor gala, and shared that we wanted photos that really captured the fun, energy, and excitement of this event that we could use to market the event in the future. Not only did he deliver beautiful photos, but he was a friendly face and so easy to work with throughout the entire process. I can't recommend him enough!
