Biography

STEVE DUNWELL makes photographs of New England – its people, landscape, and industry – for publications, for collectors, and for advertising. His photographs are featured in fourteen picture books on regional subjects.

Industrial history has been a primary interest for Dunwell throughout his professional career. Between 1973 and 1977, he photographed inside and around numerous textile mills in New England. Combined with a rich illustrated historical narrative, this work was published as "The Run of the Mill," by David R. Godine Press in 1978.  “With These Hands” is a collection of the textile worker portraits that formed the core of that mill documentation project.

Since that time, Dunwell has continued to visit and document industrial sites around New England, with a special emphasis on early hydro power and textiles. He also works on corporate and editorial assignments, concentrating on architecture and aerials. His outstanding regional images are published by Back Bay Press, including "Extraordinary Boston" and the best-selling "Boston Freedom Trail."

Steve Dunwell lives in Boston. His photographs are included in numerous corporate and private collections, museums and libraries, the Boston Athenaeum, and the Library of Congress.
