Steven Karl Metzer is a Chicago-based photographer with a focus on portrait, lifestyle, and corporate storytelling. Known for his calm, collaborative presence on set, Steven brings a thoughtful, people first approach to every shoot whether he's working with a CEO in a boardroom or capturing candid moments on a factory floor.

With over a decade of experience, Steven understands the importance of meeting creative goals while also respecting schedules, workflows, and brand voice. His work is grounded in authenticity, with a natural, approachable style that helps people feel comfortable in front of the camera.

When he’s not shooting, Steven enjoys working with his hands, exploring new tools and technologies, and spending time with his wife, son and daughter. He’s always curious, always looking, and always ready to help bring the next story to life.
