Steve Dimitriades is a photographer who resides in the inner-city suburb of Glebe, Sydney, Australia. He lives with his wife Elizabeth and their dog Ruby. Steve has been taking photos for many years, and he got his first film SLR camera shortly after getting his first job in the early 90s.

With the arrival of affordable digital cameras and a digital workflow, Steve has been able to fully embrace his love of photography again. His primary interest is connecting with extraordinary people through photography and telling their stories through his pictures.
