24. Congratulations Steve! You are indeed a great photographer.

25. Fantastic work Steve. Congrats

26. Awesome shot Steve, congrats on finding success even outside of the great things you do here for us on this site!

27. Hey man congrats! I remember not too long ago you let out a couple of post that sounded like the site wasn’t going to make it, but you seem to have had quite the comeback and some great success. Its been a great journey to watch.

28. That’s a cool pic! Would look great printed on a 12″ vinyl album cover. Shame they don’t make too many of those any more!

    • Actually vinyl production is growing by huge amounts. They make tons of new albums on vinyl, and brand new. I buy new (and used) vinyl on amazon all the time. A lot of newer albums even come with a coupon for free digital download as well.

      • That’s good to hear. I always thought the covers made a great canvas. I used to enjoy buying those. CDs and MP3s are more convenient, but buying music on vinyl always felt more special. More like you actually owned the album due to the physical size of the thing and impact the covers had. I still have my Technics SL 1200s. Been going strong for years. Just as I imagine my M7 will. As convenient as digital is, film and other analog formats will always have their place. With film photography I see it as an escape from being concerned about the ever changing face of digital photography or chasing the latest gadget. Camera, lens, film… done! Lets go take some pictures. Advancements in technology are great, but can be distracting at times too.

29. Dude, CONGRATS, Steve! That’s HUGE…way to go. I’m proud of ya!

30. Now, you’re definitely famous! Congrats!!!

31. Congrats from me too Steve!

    And has the very special picture with the yellow jacket made it too into the album?
    It’s still my personal best of picture.

    😉

32. Congratulations! That’s awesome, happy for you.

33. Thanks for all of the kind comments guys! I just saw the inside and back as well and it looks great!

34. Fantastic news Steve. It is really no surprise!

35. Congratulations Steve! Fantastic work.

36. Sweet. It would have surprised me if he would not have taken one of your images. They are awesome. Congrats and stay grounded. 😉 D!RK

37. the photos shine thru with leica style, makes the album cover unique and stand out from the rest, well done!

38. Well done, Steve, you must be thrilled to bits – not only the album cover, but the inside book and back cover. It is a great photograph of Seal, and you deserve the honour, as I am sure you worked your backside off on the tours.

39. Congrats Steve. Will remember you when I see the cd in the shops !

40. Congratulations Steve! I can’t imagine how excited you must be.

41. This is not a surprise as your pics are the best I’ve seen taken of Seal. Amazing shots.

42. Congrats on making the cover! Great shot for a great artist.

43. great job!

44. Well done and thoroughly deserved, Jason.

45. Congrats!! Excellent work.

47. Well done Steve

48. Nicely done! Congrats!

49. Excellent work steve. what a reward! They must have had a real hard time to choose only 1 picture out of the millions we saw on your site.

    • Thanks! I have the inside book and back as well, so they ends dup using a few. Pretty exciting for me as this was one of my life goals 🙂

50. Congratulations, great work!

51. Steve, so awesome for you. Congrats, Excellent work!

    • this is ridiculous.. Steve is the official photographer.. of course Seal will use his captures.. duh.. nothing really surprising..

      • I guess you don’t know how music labels and art directors work. Just because you’re a tour photographer doesn’t mean you’re going to be used on the packaging. Photographers selected to do cover shoots by the label and art directors tend to command 3 times the day rate as tour guys. So big ups to Steve, great work!
