Steven Sebring

Steven Sebring (born 1966) photographer, filmmaker and multimedia artist, is known for a distinctive style that merges raw realism with high-end fashion. His distinguished celebrity and rock n' roll portraiture including the faces of Patti Smith, Neil Young, Joey Ramone, Alec Baldwin, Phillip Glass, JFK Jr., and Bill Gates, have been seen internationally through Vogue, Vanity Fair, GQ, and ELLE. Over the past two decades, Sebring has photographed and directed international campaigns for brands as diverse as MAC, Joe Fresh, Reed Krakoff, Ralph Lauren, Maybelline, DKNY and Coach to name a few.

In 1995, Sebring’s distinguished celebrity and rock n’ roll portraiture led to a meeting with the legendary Patti Smith, resulting in their 11-year documentary and Sebring’s directorial debut, Patti Smith: Dream of Life. The film won a 2008 Sundance Award for Excellence In Cinematography and earned a 2010 Primetime Emmy nomination. Together, Sebring and Smith produced Objects of Life (2010) at the Robert Miller Gallery, Illumination (2011) at Milk Gallery, and also the book Patti Smith: Dream of Life (2009), which chronicles Smith's personal artifacts and Sebring's intimate photographs.

While working on Dream of Life, Sebring also published Lalanne (2006), which archives the lives and works of François-Xavier Lalanne and Claude Lalanne. The French artist duo is known for their belief that "the supreme art is the art of living”, as captured through Sebring’s intimate photography and stunning portraiture.
