About the Owner

Steve Ouimet began working in photography more than 25 years ago and started his own business in 2005, providing photographic services and fine-art digital image production for a variety of clients. Early on, he began shooting with large format film cameras for enlarging to print backdrops, then switched to an ultra-high-resolution digital system, which he continues to use. He developed specialized techniques for creating unique, artistic composite photographs and convincing artificial nights from daytime shots.

His backdrop photography has been used in numerous TV series, including “The Ranch” (Netflix), “Code Black” (CBS), “Silicon Valley” (HBO), "Tremé" (HBO), “Secrets and Lies” (ABC), “Rush” (USA), “Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce” (Bravo), “Red Window” (ABC), “Ben and Kate” (Fox), and “Ray Donovan” (Showtime), as well as the motion picture Sisters and the Coldplay video for “Sky Full of Stars.”
