Bert Stephani
Ich bin professioneller Fotograf mit Wohnsitz in Belgien und verbringe meine Zeit hauptsächlich mit der Aufnahme kreativer Porträts für Publikationen, Kampagnen und private Kunden.
Ich glaube an den Erfahrungsaustausch mit anderen Fotografen durch Workshops, die ich in der ganzen Welt gebe, Bloggen und die Produktion von Lernvideos.
Ich spiele gerne, aber nicht nach Regeln. Meine Arbeit handelt von Geschichten, von Atmosphäre und Emotion. Mein Stil hat Ecken und Kanten, genau wie das Leben selbst. Ich nenne das "die Schönheit der Unvollkommenheit". Ich suche immer nach dem einen unverwechselbaren Charakteristikum, das mein Motiv so besonders macht, und versuche dies dann in überzeugende Porträts zu übersetzen.

"Fotofolio photography" started in 2004, after a brief journey in the "urbex exploration" I started photographing model portfolios with child-and teen models for agencies in Belgium, France and The Netherlands. I rolled into the fashion industry by chance. To date, my work consist mainly of commercial assignments (magazines, apparel brands), the rest of my work is portraiture of children and I teach a lot of workshops “using natural light on location”. I shoot almost exclusively on location and preferably with available natural light. A photo shoot means fun and play for me. I am the director of the atmosphere during the shoot, the children are the actors and the customer ... do not worry, the customer is smiling happy at seeing the "fotofolio" show!
I don't have a long history in using FUJIFILM cameras. In 2018, I've made the switch to the X-T1 after shooting DSLR cameras for over 10 years. Switching to an APS-C camera had various reasons but the main one was the quality the X-T1 produced at a fraction of the weight and cost of my DSLR kit. After some real-world testing I compared the X-T1 results versus the RAW files my DSLR produced and I couldn't see a worth to mention difference in my line of work between a full-frame sensor and the "smaller" Fujifilm APS-C sensor. In my line of work (children's fashion) I need to deliver files to my clients that are as color correct as possible, with the X Series cameras I found no problems to deliver the quality my clients demand. I never had a client complaining about image quality or colors since I switched to FUJIFILM. I'm a happy FUJIFILM shooter :)
