Steven Anderson is a freelance photographer who enjoys traveling and photographing nature and marine life. Steven operates from his home in Nolensville, TN., and has been diving and taking photographs around the world for many years. He operates under the mantra that every picture has a story and a connection to the subject. As a photographer it is his mission to make the same connection with the subject and the viewer by way of his images.

Steven’s love for photography, particularly marine life photography, began as a child growing up in Miami, FL. At age 12 he received his first Instamatic camera in a waterproof housing, and with those very first snapshots, was born Steven’s desire to share the magnificent beauty of what he saw with others. To date, many of Steven’s award winning images have been featured within different websites, publications, as well as seen on national television.

Over the past several years, Steven has shared in a worldwide effort to promote shark conservation. It is his hope that capturing images of these misunderstood creatures, while peacefully diving alongside of them, will dispel the popular belief that sharks are human predators. His goal is for sharks to be accurately portrayed as the beautiful, non aggressive creatures they truly are. Without them, the delicate balance within our ocean’s ecological system would vanish - as would the ability to illustrate the ocean in all of its present beauty. As a member of shark Savers.org, Steven gives public presentations to the community and schools on shark conservation. He also guides an organized shark trip each year to educate adventurous divers and photograph sharks in their environment.

Steven is a member of the Neptunic Shark Suits Squad promoting safe shark diving and shark diving apparel  above and below water. For more information please contact Steven via email -
