Steve Klaver

It was my grandmother who gave me my first camera on my 9th birthday ... 10 years later, I decided to become a professional photojournalist while Majoring in Art and Psychology in College.
After years of freelancing for the Associated Press and United Press International, I became a staff photographer with New Jersey's largest newspaper, The Star-Ledger, where I worked for two decades, most of those years as a bureau photographer in western NJ.
In the year 2000, it became mandatory for the photo staff to enter major photo contests, every year.

23 Photography Awards, including:

"Best of Show " in the very competitive New York Press Photographers Assoc.
Six — 1st Place awards - NY-PPA - NJ-PPA - NJPA
Several 2nd and 3rd places in above contests
Member of the Team, winning the 2005 PULITZER PRIZE Staff Award For Breaking News
And, most recently, placing in the Top Twenty in WPJA's

International Wedding Photo Contest:

Wedding Photojournalist Assoc. "DETAILS" category
When a very generous buy-out offer was made to all staffers in February 2006. I decided to leave the newspaper business, and eventually formed STEVE KLAVER PHOTOS LLC, based in Easton, Pennsylvania.
