Hello
I’m Richard Steinberger, a commercial photographer and filmmaker specializing in marine / boating, hospitality, architecture, lifestyle, and automotive work.
​
I am based in Beaufort, SC however most of my work takes me to Florida, Tennessee and generally throughout the Southeast and occasionally abroad.
Leading brands, agencies, and design teams trust me to create human, polished, and modern visuals—stills and motion—that help sell experiences, products, and places.
From pre-production planning through final delivery, I bring a streamlined, professional approach on set, whether it’s a small crew day or a larger production, including aerial/drone when needed.
My Story
My passion for photography started when I was young, inspired by my father’s images of Europe’s breathtaking landscapes. I’m originally from Germany, and I moved to the U.S. when I was 17. I studied photography at Daytona State College, then spent years honing my skills while working alongside renowned photographers.
In 2002, I founded my own business, specializing in marine, architectural, and hospitality photography. Over the years, I’ve worked extensively with leading boating brands like Sea Ray, Boston Whaler, and Chris-Craft, as well as clients in tourism and design.
I also direct and collaborate on film projects, including my film Waniyetu Wowapi (Winter Count), which has won multiple awards and reflects my love for meaningful, real-world storytelling.
Today, I live in Beaufort, South Carolina, with my family and our Great Pyrenees, Kaya.
