“I have spent my life in the arts, providing fine photography to industry, advertising agencies and private individuals,” said Payne. “I have always loved my work, the people I work with, and the final works we produce together. I have been blessed to find my place of service in the world.”
A noted photographer with more than 25 years experience, Payne’s commercial photography has been featured in hundreds of publications nationwide, and his fine art photography resides in corporate and private collections throughout the globe. Prior to forming Steve Payne Photography, he served as chief photographer for the West Virginia Department of Commerce and the Department of Culture & History.
