Steve has accomplished much for a young man. His interest in photography first came to the fore at school; leading him to become recognized as an outstanding student by the time he entered the work force. He later completed an International Diploma with the New York Institute of professional Photography, gaining a Distinction for his work at the same time working alongside one of England·s top commercial photographers.

He has made appearances on television and been featured in the Lifestyle section of the New Zealand Herald. His calendars have sold throughout Australasia and he has been a guest speaker and competition judge at various photographic clubs around NZ.

He recently completed an interior design diploma to compliment his passion for Architecture. His works in this field have put him together with some of the best architects and designers from around the country.

He says working with a team of experts is what really helps to create the big picture, whether this be a big campaign or a small one off project.

Steves' interests include national history, martial arts, interior design, real estate, diy and coffee.

Steve is available for commissioned work through out New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific.

"My firm has used Steve Mathie on and off now for around 10 years, as he has been available between other commitments. In that time, Steve has probably done 30 or 40 different assignments for us, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking a good, professional and effective freelance photographer. Certainly we'll be continuing to use his services.

I have found Steve to be accommodating, hard-working, and accurate. He'll offer ideas, but not try to control the shoot. He works very well with people in front of, and behind the camera. He sets up his lighting fast and effectively and has a keen eye for what works. I believe Steve has an excellent future and will become one of NZ's eminent photographers."
