Steven John Irby (a.k.a. Steve Sweatpants), co-founder & director of Street Dreams magazine. Born in Brooklyn and raised in Queens, the majority of Irby’s work is derived from the endless source of inspiration found on his home turf. Shooting primarily in B/W, Irby, now an ambassador for Sony cameras, shoots poignant portraits and gritty cityscapes from unique perspectives. A street photographer with a masterful eye, creative composition and skillful lighting, his photos possess a crisp and stark contrast that makes the subjects seem like they’re about to pop out of the page.
