SHADOWS

he zone system

My work is governed by the discipline of the zone system, a mastery of exposure values from pure black (zone 0) to pure white (zone x). It is not merely technical; For me it is the language of emotion. I believe that the deepest shadows hold the most profound secrets, while the highlights offers confidence.

culpting light

I do not simply capture a subject, I treat light as physical material I can create through, I chisel away the unnecessary, to unveil the something within. More raw. More true. It is a substractive process, finding thruth and authenticity in what remains illuminated.

CURRENT BOOK PROJECT

The Unseen: Achromatic portraits of faces we overlook

"I believe in the inherent dignity of every human being. My project strives to give voice and face to those who often go unseen. To hear and see the rich and complex stories that make us human."

Expected book release and exhibitions in 2026.

bout me

A

Working in the field of Fine Art Portrait Photography for the past few years, I see beauty in people. Any people. Beauty is present everywhere, but I find it especially when grabbing my camera, painting with light, dancing with shadows, and letting fantasi doing the rest. My Achromatic Vision (a biological rarity) filters out the superficial noise of color, striping away pretense, leaving only the structural truth of my subjects, their authenticity. I don't capture a picture; I capture an identity, a story and everything that come together with it. I operate from "The Atelier", my photostudio in Stockholm.

The commission process

01. The alignment : A portrait begins long before the camera is lifted. We start with a personal dialogue to understand your personal story. We align our visions with your essence to ensure we are telling the right story.

02. The experience : Welcome to my "Atelier". The session is not a performance; it is a conversation. In the quiet of my studio, we create a space of trust and collaborative creativity. The camera creates the image, our connection creates the energy.

03. The revelation : You get a curated look at the result. Together, we review the collection, filtering through the noise to find the moments of absolute authenticity. This is where we select the images that define you the most.

04. The Artifact : In a digital world, we also value the tangible. Your selected portraits are delivered as museum-grade fine art prints and high-definition digital assets, crafted to last, ready to be shared.

Client Testimonials

He saw what I could't see myself

"As a designer, I'm visual by nature, but I'd never seen myself captured with such honesty.
Co-creating the session in a nice atmosphere in his studio, Steph's process striped away all the fluff to make place to the raw and the real. When I saw the final selection, I was just moved."

Maria Johansson, Creative Director and Designer

Reflecting our company values

"We engaged Stéphane for a portrait series of our company staff members. His ability to capture authentic personality for each and everyone made the collaboration seamless and the results outstanding. These aren't just corporate portraits, they're fine art pieces that reflect our company's values. Professional, punctual, efficient, and genuinely guifted."
