Stephen Austin Welch

Director & Photographer

San Francisco, California, United States
As a director & photographer, I am a visual storyteller (and problem solver) by nature. Because I shoot both motion and stills, I’ve never been more at home in the commercial advertising world than NOW - due to the way that broadcast and print campaign productions have come together. From my 20+ years of on-set experience creating visual solutions for my clients, I know that relationships, quality communication and good business ethics are the key in providing a solid foundation for every project we shoot together. Making photographs and directing tv spots for brands such as Burger King and Elmer’s, as well as filming documentary shorts for non-profit clients like Fund For Teachers, keeps me creatively engaged at all times. Whether filming actors, models, celebs, CEOs, kids, artists or ‘real people,’ I love grounding and connecting with my subjects to create a genuine connection on camera. I’m based on the west coast in San Francisco and shoot around the globe — anytime · anywhere.
