Foster has over 800 photo-illustrated articles in popular, trade, and scientific journals. He serves as Associate Editor for Herbalgram. Steven is the author or co-author of fifteen books.

Describing her relationship with Steven Foster, Harvard University botanist Dr. Shiu Ying Hu (emeriti) wrote: "Our conversation reminded me of something that Confucius said two thousand years ago: 'In any company of three persons, there must be one who can be my teacher' . . . I found in Steven Foster a teacher who could share a profound knowledge of economic botany, particularly in the cultivation and uses of herbs."

Steven Foster has pursued photographic goals since 1976. His first photographs appeared in a book on Shaker furniture in 1977. He has served as liaison to visiting photographers on assignment for numerous American and European magazines and newspapers. Today, as a specialist in medicinal and aromatic plants, his stock photo files number over 150,000 images in a highly specialized stock niche.
