In three separate videos Steve talks about photographing friends, family, the 'Los Muertos' series, 'Moonbug' and also answers questions from #picbod students among other topics. All of the videos are embedded below:

'Steve Pyke discusses his approach to still life images'

"It felt like a church in there, but with a frozen congregation, I felt a hushed reverence to these figures. Im sure they would have been recognisable if I had been able to see photographs of what they looked like when alive but when these people died photography was only just being invented."

Joerg Colberg talks to Steve about the series

"I had photographed relics and mummified bodies in Spain, Italy and Portugal over the years. There is always something that fascinates me about the human form. In death it is particularly interesting."
