Stephen E. Strom
Photographer

Stephen Strom is an Astronomer at the National Optical Astronomy Observatory in Tucson. For the past 20 years, his research has focused on studies of forming stars and planetary systems. Since 1978, he has photographed extensively in the American Southwest. His work has appeared in more than 30 exhibitions throughout the U.S., and is archived in a number of collections including the Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona, and the Mead Museum in Amherst, Massachusetts. His interpretations of landscapes in the Four Corners region accompany Joy Harjo's poems in Secrets from the Center of the World, part of the Sun Tracks series (University of Arizona Press, 1989). More recently, his photographs are an integral part of two new books, Sonoita Plain - Sonoita Plain: Views from a Southwestern Grassland, with Jane and Carl Bock, and Tséyi' / Deep in the Rock: Reflections on Canyon de Chelly, with Navajo poet, Laura Tohe. Both books were named to the exclusive Southwest Books of the Years list. Signed copies of these books are available through the gallery.
