Steve Buchanan discovered his passion for photography at the age of 14, while working at 7-Eleven, stocking shelves.

Steve Buchanan has been interested in photography since he was 14. In the years since, he has photographed everything, from mummies to machine guns. He has shot in lots of places he is fond of, a few he would like to forget (the blast freezer comes to mind), and all the while finding new ways to capture the beauty of the world. He is happiest when working with the crew figuring out if we really need more blueberries on those pancakes - or if that cheese is melted enough.
