Stephen Wilde’s Summary

two wheels, travels, aged ladies in tutus, sipping fine coffee on the coast of the adriadic, fedoras, flowing single track trails in countries other than my own... travels for magazines where i pack up my bicycle and travel to places unknown to me. or travel to the coast of california for a week-long photo shoot for a company such as GIANT bicycles...

my experience is primarily in the two-wheeler industry although i am deeply attracted to portraiture and documentary work. sitting in a nice coffee shop with my old bicycle leaning against a tattered wall outside, secretly snapping pictures of an elderly couple having a morning espresso with their croissant!

i have had the opportunity to work with some of the finest people in the bicycle industry. for the past two seasons i have been the primary photographer for GIANT bicycle's global catalog/ad campaigns. shoots ranged from recording welders in their taiwan factory to stylish downtown santa barbara ladies cruising to climbing up trails with adam craig and kelly emmitt to wind tunnel testing in san diego with team columbia/highroad.

i have traveled the west coast seeking the history of the mountain bike with legends such as joe breeze (who slayed me climbing mt tam!). traveled to peru to document 14,000 foot inca trial descents. rode past barbed wire with signs attached indicating live land mines in israel. was lost with kangaroos in australia. flew down great trails with a panamanian diplomat in korea. most recently... explored somewhat virgin single track in slovenia and croatia!

i have been fortunate and look forward to the future!

Stephen Wilde’s Specialties:

i am an avid lover of celluloid and old mechanical cameras, but also very slightly obsessed with technology and thus cannot ignore the digital world and instant gratification!
