I’m Steve Heap and I live to create images that will bring back memories of a happy vacation or remind you of a place that you used to call home!
While I travel extensively to capture these locations, my home base is in the Austin, Texas area. My aim is to capture each location I visit in the best light and create a photograph that you would be truly proud to display in your home or office. Although this will completely date me, I’m an accomplished photographer who first picked up a camera more than 50 years ago! Those words just make me shiver!
As a professional photographer, I have been very active in the stock photography world with images printed in leading magazines, travel guides and international publications. With over 17,000 images in my portfolio, I have tried to capture the essence of locations around the world. Although it is hard to believe, my images have been licensed by publishers of all types over 300,000 times in the past 10 years. If you are interested in licensing any of my images for use on your website or for publicity or advertising use, please contact me to discuss.
How can I help you?
More recently, though, I have been more focused on the elusive task of getting the perfect image of places I visit – ones that really speak to the viewer and ones that would be a perfect image to remind people of a happy time in that location. I have selected my best images and made them available as prints that can be framed and displayed on your wall and bring those memories to life.
You can read more about my prints and other products here on my Prints page (that was a surprise, I’m sure!)
I can be contacted via my Contact page (this gets better and better!) I’m always happy to answer any question and I love hearing from you! If you prefer email, you can always reach me at Sales @ BackyardImage.com. Of course, lose those spaces around the @ symbol.
How I can perhaps help you some more!
Finally, I would love to be able to talk to you more directly through occasional emails that will let you know what I am working on, will offer free gifts and also discounts from time to time that only my subscribers will see. Subscription is, of course, free and can be canceled at any time. See my Subscribe page for more details.
