ABOUT STEVE DuPREE:
EDWIN S. TAYLOR FOLLY BEACH FISHING PIER
Photography by Steve DuPree
Steve DuPree Jr. is a life long resident of the lowcountry.
He is married to his lovely wife Kathy He is the father of
two children, Nicole and Tripp, and the grandfather his
grandson, Tate. When Steve started photography as a
hobby, he knew right away that landscape photography
was to be his pursuit. His desire is to capture the beauty of
the place we get to call home, and share it with as many
people as possible. Steve has a passion for witnessing the
unbelievable sunrises and sunsets that are on display each
day here.
I take that passion with me to the local beaches to catch
a brief second of the beauty that a sunrise mixed with a
fantastic beach can make together.
Along with Steves love of the beaches, he is a frequent
visitor to the beautiful gardens that are a part of
Charleston.
There is nothing like the azalea bloom in Springtime to
stir the spirits of anyone. I hope that I can continue to share
the scenes that are so special to the lowcountry.
