Stephen Stinson is an American born director who photographs beautiful human moments. He leads with emotion and openness, creating space for truth and vulnerability. There’s a composed, cinematic quality to his work that results in pieces that feel like a visual poem.

Stephen’s debut documentary To Draw A Horse was selected as a Vimeo Staff Pick and featured on Short of the Week.
