Steve Savage - Steve Savage

Steve is a passionate wildlife photographer and artist. From around 8 years of age, armed with a basic wetfilm SLR he would be outdoors photographing wildlife. He also really enjoyed drawing as a child and teenager but then drew very little till nearly 40 years later when he moved to Devon and joined a local art group in 2022. With his photographer's eye for detail, and rediscovered love of drawing, he found that he could create realistic and vibrant animal drawings using pastels. His focus almost always starts on the eyes as this sets the mood and detail for the rest of the drawing and he is fascinated with the different shapes and colours of animal eyes and how and why they differ between species. He has been on a number of safaris to Africa to photograph, study and draw some of his favourite big cats, elephants, birds and other animals in their natural habitat. He also loves photographing and drawing pets, farm animals, and wild animals native to the UK.
