Photo of Me

Hello and welcome to WideOpenPhotography.com. I'm Michael Stevens and I would love to be your photographer.

While my emphasis is on sports photography other assignments are always welcome. Portraits and weddings are a fun challenge and I can also handle your commercial photography needs from the photography stage all the way through design and printing.

I have been shooting for over thirteen years now. Originally shooting as a hobby I would capture friends, family, and my faithful yet co-dependent Great Danes. I was the guy that always had a camera on him; and still am.

An avid indoor & sand volleyball player myself, I had an obvious knack for and take great joy in shooting volleyball matches. Tempe, Arizona, is a stop for the Association of Volleball Tours and my work from Tempe & Manhattan Beach have been bought by players and used in AVP promotional literature.

You know the saying, “It's not what you know but who you know,” and late in '98 I was introduced to the team photographer for the Arizona Rattlers. It took a while but I now regularly shoot Arizona Rattlers & Phoenix Suns games, my work appearing in The Sporting News, and I am also the Phoenix Suns' transmitter.

Please feel free to call, email or click on the Contact button to the left to submit a short form regarding your event. My prices are reasonable and you'll find me as knowledgable and as easy to work with as anyone out there.

Thanks for stopping by Wide Open Photography!
