It is not entirely a coincidence that Mitchell Larsen Studio is selling Steffen Larsen’s Photographics.

Steffen got his first camera at age 11 and only 3 years later he built his own black and white photography dark room.

His cameras have traveled with him to just about everywhere, including Arctic and Antarctic expeditions, Central Africa, the Himalayas, Central America, Australia, India and Laos.

In 1988, Steffen settled on St Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

In 1993, he bought his first digital camera.

In 2003, and 6 digital cameras later, Jan Mitchell thought it was time to display Steffen’s Photographics in the gallery at 2000 Company St. in Christiansted.

As a natural fit, they subsequently added mounting and framing to the business.
