Steve Walasavage 🔥📸🔥

I remember stumbling upon Steve's work during the peak of the bear in 2022 and being in awe with his quality of work. My first piece I purchased was "Soulset". What I love about Steve is not only his inclination to give back to his holders (I've gotten many free airdrops of new work from him), but how kindhearted he is. I've exchanged private DMs with him numerous times and have always had an excellent experience. He is incredible genuine and kind. He actually inspired me to get into photography myself and was a HUGE help on what I should look for regarding equipment and how I can get started on my journey. He even went to the extent of getting me in contact with another photographer so I could get more expertise on a specific brand I was looking into. I've had nothing but positive experiences both as an individual and a collector with Steve. He's heavily under the radar, and I suggest you check out his work if you get the chance

Let me brag on someone real quick. Steve is one of those rare creatives who can make you laugh mid-crisis and still deliver jaw-dropping, soul-stirring landscapes that look like magic and memory had a baby. I’ve known Steve since my early days in Web3, and he’s been a solid, hilarious, and heartfelt presence in every corner of this space. Steve’s art? It's awesome. Whether he’s capturing rivers and mountains or epics skies and stars, his lens feels like a love letter to Earth itself. But beyond the art, what makes Steve unforgettable is who he is. Wholesome, kind, unshakably himself—and if that ruffles some feathers, well, so be it. He’s real in a world that rewards performance, and that’s what makes him magnetic. You can find his work all over the place. But the real gem? Is the man behind the camera.

Steve was one of the first people I connected with in Web3 through mutual friend Jason O'Rourke. We have been here having fun and sharing our work ever since. A great photographer with an eye for vibrancy. What I like about Steve is he is unafraid to share his opinions and go it alone if that is what it takes. Steve uses blockchain tech and NFTs to create some really fun and unique ways of sharing art.

his landscape & astro shots are insanely crisp

I "met" Steve through an artist group chat. His work is outstanding and he's a big supporter of other artists in the web3 space. Happy to get him an invite through the Lyke Island community!

I discovered Steve’s stunning work during the 2022 market downturn, starting with his masterpiece "Soulset." His generosity shines through frequent airdrops for collectors and his genuine kindness in personal interactions. Steve’s warmth and expertise inspired my own photography journey, guiding me on equipment and even connecting me with another photographer for specialized advice. A true gem, Steve’s work is a must-see for any art enthusiast.

Met him in a Twitter GC and haven’t been able to take my eyes off his work since. We’ve had some solid convos and he was kind enough to send me one of his editions, which honestly blew me away. His shots have this peaceful vibe on the surface but the more you look, the more they hit you emotionally. Like...it’s not just a pretty picture, they'll actually leave a long lasting impression [at least for me, they did] Every time he drops one of his shots, I just wish i could teleport there and vibe for a while :)

It's funny how I initially discovered Steve's work through a friend's recommendation. His photos seemed to breathe, especially the tent under the stars, which instantly transported me to the wilderness. But what truly moved me was the special summer of 2022 when I first collected his 'Soul Sunset.' I not only gained a breathtaking image but also encountered a pure artistic soul. This humble photographer always rewards collectors in unexpected ways, and many works on my bookshelf come from his generous airdrops. What's even rarer is that every private message exchange feels like the warmth of an old friend. He completely ignited my passion for photography. I remember when I was a beginner, he not only patiently guided me in choosing equipment but even introduced me to other photographers to help me study specific brands. This spirit of selfless sharing is truly rare in the art world. Looking back now, from collector to photography enthusiast, his warm imprint is everywhere. What is Steve's most charming quality? Probably that 'I am pure while the world is muddy' authenticity. When I first met him in the Web3 world, I was attracted to his magic of making people laugh even in a crisis. His lens is like magic—the rushing river is the beating pulse of the earth, and the brilliant starry sky is the universe's love letter to humanity. But even more moving than his work is his unwavering childlike heart. In this era that worships performance, he lives so authentically that this purity has become the most touching artistic charm. Knowing him for a long time, I understand that Steve never hides his emotions. His work is like that, and so is he as a person. Before and behind the lens, he is always that dream weaver who makes people feel like they are in a spring breeze. If you are lucky enough to see his work, you will surely understand what it means to reach the ultimate state of 'seeing mountains as mountains, and seeing water as water.'

Recently came across Steve through a friend of mine. I like his photos! My favorite is the tent photo. Don’t fail to check his super rare if you enjoy photography.
