Steve Long is a Florida based nature photographer specializing in the macro photography of insects. He began photographing insects in 2013 as a hobby after seeing up-close pictures of these amazing animals. Since that time, he has studied with world-class nature photographers such as Alex Wild, John Abbott, Piotr Naskrecki, and Thomas Shahan, developing his own unique style and interests. His photography has won several awards and has been featured at the ENSOC photo salon and in several publications, including a Peterson's guide on moths. Several working scientists have also utilized his photos in their work and publications.
Long says, “Photographing small animals in nature is almost magical for me. Too often, we fail to see what is in front of us, and so we can’t appreciate it. When you see tiny creatures through the camera lens up close and personal, you begin to fully realize the miracle of nature.”
He has Ph.D. in philosophy from Marquette University and an Ed.D. In Leadership from the University of the Cumberlands. He has held numerous administrative and teaching positions at universities and currently is an adjunct professor of philosophy at Southern New Hampshire University. He also served as a pastor for many years and is the lead guitarist on his church worship team.y University. He also served as a pastor for many years
