STEVE SAXON is one of the best DPs in the Southeast. His expertise in lighting and attention to detail sets him apart from all others. His creative artistry and enthusiasm makes even the most mundane event seem bigger than life. He’s a natural storyteller and it shows in everything he does. He is at one with the camera. Seriously, he is the ultimate professional and a really fun guy to be around.
-Dave Temple, President of Temple Media
STEVE SAXON takes care of his people, he’s fun to work with on set and his equipment is state of the art. What else do you need? I highly recommend him.

STEVE SAXON is not only a really good DP, a good DIT and a equipment junkie (he has all the bells & whistles), but he’s the total professional. He shows up and does what he says he will do…and then some.
