Special thanks to Steve Romero our 2025 Photography Contest Judge. Steve was born in New York and his love for photography began in high school, in SoHo. In 1994, he received a prestigious scholarship allowing him to study in Rome.

Upon arriving in South Florida, Steve made an immediate impact by sharing his sunrise/sunset photographs to local Facebook groups. The desire was to share the beauty of our area with the community and inspire through photography. Almost 10 years after moving to South Florida, his goal is still the same as the first time he shared his photographs of our area: highlighting the true beauty of South Florida and making an everlasting impact on the people of our community.

Steve lives in Weston and still travels the world sharing his work throughout various social media platforms. He is also a highly recommended photographer for any special occasion.
