About Steve Davey

Image © Findlay Kember

Although he is now getting old and his beard (when unshaven) is going grey and makes him resemble a badger, Steve Davey is insanely optimistic and believes that the best of life is always in front of him. A writer and photographer based in London, Steve has turned his day job into a way of life. He travels compulsively and is in love with the chaos of being on the road. A self-confessed crap sightseer, he is more interested in how places work and often how they don’t, than visiting monuments and museums. He would also rather be told he resembles Jean Reno than a badger and is working on immoral ways to use this to his own advantage.

Steve’s work has appeared in magazines, books and newspapers all over the world. He is the author and principal photographer of Unforgettable Places to See Before You Die published by BBC Books. This bestselling title has sold over 300,000 copies and has some 30 co-editions around the world.

A second title Unforgettable Islands to Escape to Before You Die, was published in 2007. The book is dedicated to Steve’s first child, Amber Sashi, who was conceived in the middle of the year long shooting schedule. She has visited Bali, Australia and Croatia before she was even born, and Steve is looking forward to helping her fill her first passport as quickly as possible!

Steve's new book, Footprint Travel Photography was published in October 2008. A comprehensive guide to everything to do with Travel Photography, it includes a dedicated website where uniquely you can ask the author questions and have him critique your work.
