Austin Stevens - Biography
Austin Stevens (born 19 May 1950) is a South African-born herpetologist, wildlife photographer, film maker and author best known for hosting a series of snake documentaries, best known of which is Austin Stevens: Most Dangerous.
Austin Stevens was born in Pretoria, South Africa and became interested in snakes at the age of 12. By the time he finished school, his reptile collection included some of the most exotic and venomous species in the world. His mother lost a lung in a car accident as a girl, was often ill, and died when Stevens was in his 30s; his father owned a small typewriter repair business. He traces his adventurous streak back to his grandfather from Bristol, England and part founder of the AJS Motorbike Corporation, but later took the move to South Africa.
Stevens never received any formal photography training and says he does not have a large collection of camera gear, preferring to keep his kit compact. In many early episodes of Austin Stevens: Snakemaster, he can be seen using a Canon EOS 50E and a Canon 300D later. In the second season, he uses a Samsung GX-10, which he attaches both Samsung and Pentax lenses to. He also uses a Samsung Pro815 and an unspecified Sony Cybershot model for general use.
In December 2007, Austin Stevens married his second wife Amy, a young python keeper from Australia. Following the marriage, Stevens relocated to Australia. On 5 September 2016, Stevens revealed that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease.
