Steve Sherman began his photographic career at Transworld Skateboarding Magazine, under the guidance of legendary skateboard photographer J. Grant Brittain, and later went on to help found the groundbreaking Transworld Surf Magazine as a photo editor.
Since the late ’80s, Sherman’s trademark moody black and white photos have broken new ground in a field where bright, front-lit color was the standard. Drawing on the influences of portrait photographer Mark Seliger (Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair) and the unrestrained, creative grit of the skateboard world, Sherman’s surf star portraits and lifestyle photography explore uncharted realms of behind-the-scenes intimacy and journalistic presence, bringing fans closer to their surfing heroes than they ever thought possible. “I shoot the images I do because I’m a surfer for life, passionate about music, and a big fan of pro surfing,” says Sherm.
Steve lives in La Costa CA with his wife Pamela, and two boys, Taj and Ethan.
