Steven D. Foster has exhibited his photography in major museums and galleries nationally for over forty years, including a seven-year retrospective exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago. At the age of ten Foster had an epiphany in which he realized he was going to be a photographer. He went on to study photography as a fine art. He has studied with master teachers and photographers Minor White, Nathan Lyons, Beaumont Newhall, Van Deren Coke, Ray Metzker, Aaron Siskind, Wynn Bullock and Fredrick Sommer. Foster taught photography as a fine art at Georgia State University-Atlanta (1972-75) and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (1975-2007), where he created both the undergraduate and graduate sub-majors in photography. Though now retired from teaching, Foster is actively engaged in his own creative process as a picture maker, and has joined his wife in some social activist work to protect the natural environment. thedepartinglandscape.blogspot.com/
