Steve Giovinco is a fine art photographer who photographs night landscapes, self-portraits, and people and private photography teacher. His focus is on fine-art photography with lyrical and psychologically charged private moments of couples using himself and dark landscape photographs. Steve Giovinco has exhibited his art photographs with Jeff Wall, Sam Taylor-Wood, Catherine Opie, and others. He has worked with a digital camera since 1999 and created a handheld 8x8" film camera. His work was published in Summertime[1] by Chronicle Books. He also does fine art documentary wedding commissions.

New Digital Storytelling
Giovinco created a personal photography project where images of himself and his father were displayed on the app Snapchat. Fading after 24 hours, the project used Snapchat’s fleeting images to investigate ephemeral moments of life and memory.[3]

He has worked with families, capturing their children in their home; has been commissioned for weddings;[4] and produced work for the web site Monegraph.[5]
