Steve Romero’s photography is a heartfelt reflection of a life shaped by the vibrant cultural mosaic of New York City, where he was born and raised. His artistic journey began in the creative epicenter of SoHo during the 1980s, a time when punk and art cultures collided to spark boundless inspiration. It was in high school that Steve first discovered his passion for photography, a medium that allowed him to capture the world’s beauty with an unflinching eye.

This passion deepened in 1994 when Steve earned a prestigious scholarship to study architecture in Rome, Italy. Rather than sketching the timeless monuments of Europe, he found himself drawn to the lens, immortalizing grand structures and fleeting moments with equal reverence. These early experiences laid the foundation for a lifelong devotion to the craft.

The dawn of digital photography reignited Steve’s creative spark over a decade ago, as he traveled to vibrant destinations across the globe. The rich colors, diverse cultures, and architectural wonders he encountered fueled his desire to refine his skills. This led him to the esteemed Fashion Institute of Technology, where formal training and bold experimentation honed his ability to capture moments with precision and soul.

Upon settling in South Florida, Steve’s photography became a love letter to his new home. His breathtaking sunrise and sunset images, shared with local communities through social media, captured the region’s beauty in ways that resonated deeply. Comments like, “I’ve never seen our city photographed like this,” inspired him to continue showcasing the area’s splendor. His work not only garnered a devoted following but also led to the creation of a wildly successful calendar, with images shipped worldwide as daily doses of inspiration.
