About Us

Steve DeMent (Photographer and Owner)

About Me:
Steve DeMent first discovered photography at the San Diego International Comic Book Convention in 2005.  Five days in the epicentre of comics, film, and pop culture left Steve with a desire to express himself and his love for pop culture in an artistic way.  After dabbling in illustration, pottery, and dance, Steve picked up a camera in 2006, and hasn’t put it down since.  Since then, Steve has sought to create images that show empowered women who own their sexuality in a fun and glamorous way.  His images have been published nationally and can be seen in alternative and pinup publications including Retro Lovely, Bachelor Pad, Inked, and Pincurl Magazine.

My Ethics:
I believe in respecting my clients.  I am completely professional at all times.  I show up on time, I work hard, and I have a lot of fun.  I want my clients to have a quality experience from beginning to end.  I want every woman who steps in front of my camera to feel beautiful, empowered, and safe.

Privacy Policy
I have received consent from each client to post their images on my web site. I do not publish any images without the clients written consent.  I have earned a great reputation for being discreet with my clientele.  Your personal privacy is very important to me, and I want to be certain that you understand the steps that will be taken to protect the confidentiality of the professional images taken.  Below is our official policy:

When you are photographed, certain measures will be taken to keep your photos private. All digital images, including proofs and final images, will be placed on a professional password protected website for you to view.  Only you and I will have access to the gallery, and the password will be unique to your shoot. If you decide to decline to share your images on my website or other marketing, please be assured your images will be kept private. We use the most current industry measures to protect the confidentiality of your personal images, including the use of professional online viewing, professional labs and album binding to protect against unauthorized reproductions.
