LIVING HIS DREAM
A short Biography of Photographer & Naturalist, Stephen Stamp
You know that kid that was forever drawing on his Mother’s walls, doodling in class and had that expression of being in a far-off place when he should have been listening to his teacher; well that was Stephen, as a child.
Stephen’s natural talent soon earned him the respect of his teachers and peers alike and he completed his matric year with a distinction in Art.
Wanting to take his need for instant gratification to a new level, photography was a natural progression of his self-expression. He thus completed a photographic internship with renowned South African Photographer, Bob Binnell who specialises in historical photography. This mentorship led Stephen to explore and further study the more practical application of fine art, that being Interior Design.
One’s passion does not always play out as a profession and Stephen’s innate curiosity lead him to pursue a more lucrative career by getting intensely involved in forensic investigation in the hospitality industry. Finding this prohibitive of his adventurous nature, an opportunity to once again broaden his horizons and use his creative abilities, presented itself and he became involved in the IT industry. His success in this venture lead to him working his way up to the level of MIS/IT Manager. A position he enjoyed with a select number of Blue Chip companies in South Africa.
