“I don’t ‘take’ photographs. I reflect the most inspiring aspects of a person through my camera.”
Steven Rimlinger is an award-winning photographer and cinematographer based in Los Angeles. The innate collaborative process involved in creating images is what most attracts him to the craft. He starts with a connection with another person. This connection provides understanding and trust which allows their true essence to be portrayed through his photography.
Steven’s passion for capturing stories and feelings with his camera started at a young age. After working in several disciplines of still photography, he incorporated digital filmmaking and non-linear editing to his skillset. These combined experiences helped him learn a wide variety of workflows, techniques, and equipment which infused an innovative and efficient approach to his camera work. His camera has taken him around the world providing an endless variety of projects which are equally challenging and rewarding, with the element of people serving as the invaluable fuel.
