VIRGIL STEPHENS is a professional photographer with over 10 years of experience. He studied photography at the University of Maryland Baltimore County where he received a BFA in 2000. Later that year he relocated to New York City and began Virgil Stephens Photography. In NYC Virgil gained experience working as an assistant to commercial photographers, and also photo-printing for artist's portfolios and exhibitions. Learning techniques and borrowing the best, he forged his own unique brand of event photography.

"My approach when photographing events seeks a balance of energetic candids, formal style portraits, and creative images. Capturing what's unique, weaving a story, and documenting for posterity. I can be unobtrusive, but then also take the lead and direct to make sure people and the pictures of them look their best." "I'm driven by the importance of creating beautiful pictures that will last a lifetime, and know each and every event is my one opportunity to deliver
beyond your expectations."

Most recently Virgil's photography has had him shooting weddings and events in international destinations as well as domestic. He's doing black & white landscape photography for his personal work and has shown his art photo prints in New York City and Washington D.C. In addition to photography Virgil enjoys travel with his family and
the great outdoors.
