About
Hello! My name is Stephen Alvarado, and I am the founder of Stecam Studio. I was born in Brooklyn and currently reside in North Arlington, NJ. With 15 years of professional experience under my belt, I have been fortunate enough to travel the world and capture over 500 events, ranging from weddings to corporate parties.
My passion lies in capturing candid moments, but I am also skilled in taking formal portraits. My education at the School of Visual Arts has helped me hone my craft, and my number one priority is to exceed my client's expectations by streamlining communication.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I prefer the personal touch. I reach out to the client to grasp the type of service they desire. I arrange a Zoom meeting to establish rapport and align expectations. Clients will receive emails and meeting summaries for clarity.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
From the School of Visual Arts specializing in computer art, I am proficient in Adobe Suite programs, Lightroom, etc. I possess a diverse skill set with over 15 years of experience in media equipment and workshops.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
None at this time, but it depends on the work and amount of time needed. Typically, I charge a flat rate.
How did you get started in this business?
My nephew passed away from a car crash, which motivated me to document my family's experience after the accident. This is when I started photojournalism and shot candid moments during the early stage of my career. It was gratifying.

I can work with any customers except those who do not communicate consistently.
