Hi, I’m Stephen James Dottavi! I’m a photographer who’s just getting started, branching out into this incredible world of creativity and storytelling. Right now, I’m building my craft and working toward my dream of becoming a full-fledged pro with top-tier gear to match my passion.

I’ve always been fascinated by how photography can freeze a moment in time, tell a story, or make someone feel something profound. That’s why I’m diving headfirst into this journey—because I believe every shot has the power to capture a little piece of magic.

Right now, my work spans a variety of styles. From portraits and intimate elopements to the raw energy of street photography and the serenity of landscapes, I’m exploring it all. Each photo I take is part of a learning process and a way for me to shape my voice as an artist.

But photography isn’t just about the technical stuff for me. It’s about the connection. I love working with people, getting to know their stories, and finding ways to make those stories shine through the images I create. Every session is a new adventure—sometimes messy, sometimes spontaneous, but always real.

This is just the beginning for me, but I’m so excited about where this journey will lead. If you’re here, it means you’re taking a chance on someone who’s hungry to learn, grow, and make something truly special. Whether it’s capturing your memories or collaborating on a creative project, I can’t wait to create something amazing with you.

Let’s make some magic together—through my lens, your story will come to life.
