Steve Silverman
Owner and Principal Photographer
Steve’s love for photography began when he was 12 and received a camera from his father, who recognized his visual sensitivity and unique perspectives. Steve was fascinated by the idea of capturing people and places through photographs. Years later, as a freshman in college, a friend encouraged him to purchase his first SLR camera to capture the urban landscape of Philadelphia. The moment his first print came out of the developing bath, he knew he had found his passion. Nevertheless, he graduated from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics and a major in Accounting. Steve initially worked as a photo journalist for more than 30 Philadelphia area newspapers.
In the '80's and '90's he ran his family’s retail business while pursuing photography on the side until 1994 when he made the decision to evolve his love into a career as a professional photographer.
A random encounter and a surprise blue ribbon helped shape his career as a photographer. On a trip to Scotland, he came upon a bagpiper in full regalia playing his instrument alongside the road. Steve asked the bagpiper to pose for him. Months later, he built up enough courage to enter several landscape photos in the State Fair. He was pleased to find out all of them had received some recognition but was surprised to discover his bagpiper photo had won the grand champion award. He was surprised, not because he had not developed confidence in his portraits as he had in his landscape and architectural photography, but because he did not submit the photo—his wife did!
Steve's diverse career has included several stops along the way. He brought Monte Zucker's pioneering style of photojournalistic wedding photography to the Midwest, transforming this genre. He mentored under Gerry Kopelow, considered one of North America's foremost architectural photographers. As a landscape photographer, he collaborated with his wife Robin Silverman to produce the hard cover coffee table book, The Land of Tranquility: Visions of the Secret Beauty of North Dakota. This book has been sold in all 50 states and 37 foreign countries. In addition, his images have appeared in numerous books and magazines.

Jeremy Alameda
Assistant Photographer

Jeremy’s passion for photography and motion pictures began long before he picked up a camera. His fascination with films helped develop an appreciation for the arts and sparked a strong desire to explore the world of cinema and storied cultures around him.
After serving 12 years in the Army National Guard, including an 18-month deployment to Baghdad, Iraq, Jeremy attended and graduated from the University of North Dakota where his studies focused on entrepreneurship, business, and photography. Volunteering his photography and video services at such places like the North Dakota Museum of Art, local restaurants and nightclubs, led him to the Twin Cities to study Cinematography at the Minneapolis Community and Technical College and to eventually launch his business Alameda Photo and Films offering professional photography and videography services.
