Steve Simon in Africa
Welcome to Photo Finds, a feature where we point you to some of the best photography around the web.
On this week’s Photo Finds, we take a look at the work of editorial and commercial photographer Steve Simon.
This Montreal-born and New York-based photographer is no stranger to those of you who follow the This Week in Photo podcast. Steve is a regular guest there, in addition to being a prolific writer and instructor.
