Stephen Radley is an Anglican priest, professional photographer and members ambassador for the Guild of Photographers. A military veteran, he found healing from his military experiences through photography. In 2021 he was awarded the Amateur Photographer Magazine Unsung Hero Award.

Steve grew up in the Lake District and has a love of the outdoors and fell walking. He is a keen sailor and accredited RYA buddy sailor with Sailability (sailing alongside people with disabilities). His working life started in agriculture followed by service on the Lee Abbey Community, a short career in business, training for ordination in 1993. Steve joined the RAF Chaplains branch in 2000. His experience of war left him with a passion to help people find peace by seeing in new ways. This desire saw Steve pioneer a new direction in his ministry using image to promote resilience and build relationships through his organisation, Soulful Vision.

Steve is a doctoral student, researching healing after trauma through photography, has a BTh (hons) in theology, holds a MSc in Psychiatry & War and certificates in counselling and MHFA. He has personal experience of mental health having suffered from depression, anxiety and moral injury, the latter following his last deployment to Afghan. Soulful Vision brings together this study and experience.

Steve has led retreats and workshops across the UK and Ireland including: Sheldon, Devon; Launde Abbey, Leicestershire; The Royal Foundation of St Katharine, London; Shepherds Dene, Northumbria; Cliff College, Derbyshire; & Manresa, The Jesuit Centre of Spirituality, Dublin.
