Award-winning photographer Stephen Hayford has been in photojournalism for more than 20 years. He has worked with the Palm Beach Post, Sun-Sentinel, Miami Herald, Rocky Mountain News, The News-Press and other newspapers and wire services in Colorado, Ohio, Missouri and Florida.
More than 15 years ago, he channeled his documentary sensibilities into his childhood love of Star Wars through building dioramas and customizing action figures. He now uses them as sets and characters for satirical images rooted in his news experiences. Hayford is well-known for his subversive humor used in Florida-themed diorama images. His attention to detail also has earned him a following among Star Wars fans as a freelance artist for Lucasfilm. He was recently a featured artist at the Star Wars Celebration VI convention in Orlando.
