Webster and Stevens was a photographic studio partnership between Ira Webster and Nelson Stevens. They moved from Michigan to Seattle in 1899 and after working for local photography studios for several years, they opened a studio in 1902[1] and photographed Seattle and the Puget Sound region. They helped pioneering the area's commerical and photojournalism fields.[2] Their marketing motto was "Anything. Anytime. Anywhere."[2] Their studio produced more than 60,000 black-and-white photographs of Seattle and the Pacific Northwest.[2] They had a contract as photographers for the Seattle Times from 1906 until 1923.[2][1]
Webster & Stevens reprinted work by other studios and developed a photo library they marketed to newspapers and magazines
