Steven Counts' photography, rooted in naturalism, provides a nuanced portrayal of the human athletic experience through the perspective of a docu-reportage lens.
Counts' exceptional photography and directing earned him the 2020 Webby Award for Travel & Adventure Film, showcasing his talent for storytelling. His celebrated work, "The Lonely Palm Tree," in partnership with Apple, epitomizes his narrative and visual craft.
In his debut photo book, "Muay Thai," spanning 196 pages, Counts meticulously documents the rich tapestry of this iconic Thai sport, tracing its roots back to the provincial landscapes from which it emerged.
He hails from Detroit but lived in Brooklyn for 14 years before making Marina del Rey his home.
