Midwest Photographics Steve Toepp, owner of Midwest Photographics, is one of Michiana’s most experienced & creative Multimedia Professionals. Established in 1985
(10)

I was born to do this work. I created my first animated film using my GI Joes when I was 13, and have not stopped in my passionate pursuit of visual storytelling and commercial imaging. I am a graduate of Columbia College, Chicago (BA in Photography) and also have a degree in digital media production (concentration is videography). Creativity, attention to detail, technical expertise, and a great

eye are hallmarks of my decades as owner & director of Midwest Photographics. These attributes, combined with outstanding individualized service, are what makes Midwest Photographics a great choice. Once someone becomes one of my clients, their project is my priority and I do whatever if takes to produce results that exceed expectations. My portfolios are available on https://midwest-photographics.smugmug.com , my website, https://vimeo.com/midwestphotographics , and https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3_Uyns2vn9xjXD_vUfMTnQ

The reason for the smile is I love producing Video and Photography. And Travel to Houston and an 9 hour photo & video shoot in one day is ok, But what was tough was the 107° temp, a thousand steps, wearing flame retardant overcoat, carrying around a 14 pound emergency apparatus. I was completely soaked through with sweat by halfway into the shoot and it’s not a safe place to be dizzy. But I still love my job and I’m grateful to have clients like this.

My video shoot in Houston is canceled. Something about floods and no electric. I say boots and batteries.

A big thank you to all the Notre Dame Alumni who have served our country in the military. I learned a lot about these men and women while covering the 100 year dedication of the World War I Memorial (East Basilica entrance) on Saturday morning.

I am proud to be on the Board for the URRC. I hope this film we created will help reveal what miracles are happening here. Mission Statement: "Our mission is to provide safe and stable, transitional housings to adults in recovery from addiction to drugs and alcohol into a system in moving towards a productive and independent life" We are now also serving women. Tara is an outstanding Director and URRC is blessed to have someone of this caliber. Good place to stay for anyone that is serious about recovery

Happy St Patricks Day to our Irish friends and Foxhunters around the globe. This 2014 vid features The Galway Blazers, North Tipperary Foxhounds, The Blue Tips, and East Galway Hunt Clubs, 2014 is pre stabilization, and pre pro-audio, so a bit jumpy and the overdub gets old. Thx to Oliver at Flowerhill for the fine pick-ups. Ireland is amazing to Hunt. Happy hunting in 2024!

Lost Dogs. A friend of mine in Kalamazoo is hoping to get an FLIR drone (thermal imaging drone ) up to help with this very time sensitive search. My drones do not have this ability but I’m a good pilot if somebody can lend me their FLIR.

Photo drop from last weekend's Party to celebrate Ol Ole Harvey 's 40th Anniversary at WVPE hosting the Blues Review. Harvey Stauffer is quite a beloved asset to Michiana and the US Blues scene. Love Armida Stauffer (she is the person that convinced me to be less shy, and learn how to blow harder on a sax)

A few shots from Saturday's Christmas Party sponsored by the Global Survivor’s for Peace. Wonderful event.
