About Steve Davey

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 who has turned his day job into a way of life. Travelling compulsively he is in love with the chaos of being on the road.

Steve’s work appears 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 involved Steve catching 99 flights in a year and flying the equivalent of over seven times around the world.

Steve has published two further titles; Around the World in 500 Festivals and two editions of Footprint Travel Photography. To complement the first edition of this book, Steve launched a unique series of travel photography tours and London courses. Steve accompanies all of the tours providing his unique blend of tailored tuition, encouragement and boundless enthusiasm. Forthcoming destinations can be found here.

Steve recently relocated from the cramped streets of Brixton to an Old Vicarage in South Somerset, which has included a protracted rennovation project converting an former Coach House into a studio and workspace.

Steve incorporates many of the skills learned in his years working in the travel and editorial fields to his commercial work: providing natural and contemporary styled images in the corporate or commercial environment that will enhance the image of your business or organisation, whilst working quickly and unobtrusively.

He can also undertake interviews and provide well researched and written stories and copy if required.
