Expanding his commercial photography portfolio, to include fine art photography in 2015, Stephen’s images of skies over Ireland and the US are now in private collections in London England, Paris France, Munich Germany and Manhattan USA.

Stephen's most recent fine art photographs are of wild and semi-wild plants photographed up close and personal in pathways and forests in Stephen's home country of Ireland.

In a career spanning over three generations, Belfast photographer Stephen S T Bradley began in reportage, photographing news events in Northern Ireland during The Troubles, when his work appeared on the covers of every national newspaper in UK, Europe and North America.

Expanding his portfolio to include corporate and agency photography, Stephen emigrated with his family to Atlanta, USA, where he photographed lifestyle imagery for multinational advertising, corporate and editorial clients on both sides of the Atlantic, including Coca Cola, UPS, Georgia Power, Newsweek, LA Times, Washington Post, Stern, Der Spiegel, The Times and has filmed documentary for BBC Worldwide.

Returning home to Belfast, N. Ireland, Stephen now focuses on his fine art photography practice as he focuses on art markets outside Europe and North America.
