Stephen King is a landscape photographer based in Hong Kong. Fascinated by patterns formed in nature, King enjoys traveling the world in search of images that explore the landscape's capacity for both drama and serenity. King's work has been described as painterly, a style he cultivates through the use of light, color, and composition. A product of two cultures, King points to his love of Chinese ink painting and American Abstract Expressionism as influences that help inform his aesthetic. He currently shoots primarily with the Phase One XF and Sony A7Rii camera systems.
A selection of King's images are available as limited-edition fine art prints. He exhibits his work regularly in Hong Kong, including at Art Basel and Fine Art Asia and his large-scale prints have proved popular with private and corporate collectors around the world. King's photos have won awards and distinctions at many of the world's most popular photo competitions, and he has been featured in numerous prestigious art and photography publications including National Geographic, Asia Art News, Zoom Magazine, and Art Investment Magazine. Most recently, King was the overall winner of The Independent Photographer's 2020 Landscape Award. He also regularly donates his work to support charity auctions to raise funds for worthy causes.
