Steven  Wilde: written by a professional biker after a photoshoot:
Stephen Wilde, one of the nicest guys in photography!
Stephen has a superb eye for detail and loves to work with natural light. His photographs use color in a very unique manner.
Unlike many photographers, Stephen works very quickly - almost as though he 'shots from the hip' - although his work is always beautifully composed and considered.

About altering images:

Working with existing images and altering them can be a lot of fun. It can be a way of examining our environment,
Our surroundings and how we relate to them. You can also use it in story telling in paintings. An ordinary image can become something
magical by using unusual tools and processes to change them. Here are a few ideas:


Mark making and sanding:Put picture in lukewarm water for 30 seconds. Wipe the water off and start sanding and scratching the image, distorting and changing it. You can use sandpaper, a needle, any sharp object.

Use chemicals:Use bleach to 'lift off' (or partly off) colour. Leave the bleach on for a moment and it will turn orange, leave it for longer and it will turn yellow and finally—it will turn white. Bleach part of the picture, use a bleach pen for more control.

Resist:If you want to make something with partial portions of bleach. You can use oil stick, pastel, or a sticker. The areas that are covered will act like a resist and all other areas will be bleached.

Start:
