About Dark White Room

The Art media, unlimited by boundaries, all exists beyond the reaches of our imaginations.
We cannot see what we can create until we create it.

Combining the practices of photographic “dark room” techniques and its unpredictability and the comfort of a neutral white room, much like a blank canvas, Dark White Room aims to offer Artworks or concepts that might be out of the ordinary, unexpected, images beyond our vision, or even exactly what you want.

Stevie White

Founder, Photographer, Musician, Artist, Scribbler, Poet, Philosopher, Wanderer

The product of a being brought up in a creative environment, Stevie has been an artist his entire life. A native of the Appalachian Region, from an early age his interests developed in drawing, photography, and videography, and later on, music and writing. At 19, he joined the US Navy as a photojournalist and combat camera operator, serving in Okinawa, Japan, and deploying to Guantanamo Bay, documenting Navy operations all over the world.

Following his Navy duties, Stevie moved to Tokyo to earn his degrees in Art and Communications to further develop his practise and philosophy.

Through incorporating Japanese photographic theory and ideology nominative of ‘Buddhist photography’ to his photojournalist roots, he found his artistic “voice”. The feelings and moments that capture our attention, pull us in, and somehow connect us in a moment of fleeting presence and emotion became his muse.

Stevie’s other ongoing artistic practices include music composition, writing poetry, linocut printmaking, drawing and painting, bookbinding, and challenging his perceptions of existence.
