Lives & works in Santa Fe, New Mexico USA:
Steve Hamblin has been working in photography since 1972 when he was a journalism student at the University of Wyoming. He then attended the well-known Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara California where he received his BFA in commercial and illustrative photography.

His professional career began in Los Angeles. Later Hamblin moved to Dallas, Texas where he owned and operated a commercial photography studio serving such clients as Johnson & Johnson, Electronic Data Systems (EDS), Boeing Corporation and NASA. Additionally, many of his creative personal images have been selected for numerous book covers, and mainstream magazine publications such as National Geographic, Travel and Leisure, and Time magazine.

Hamblin moved to Santa Fe in 2006 and began to take his career in a fine arts direction. This has resulted in an arresting collection of contemporary abstract images created by Hamblin using a light painting technique. Through a prism of saturated colors, shapes and textures he presents beautiful images with movement and mystery.
