Stephan Vanfleteren - Portret 1989–2009 - 2010

Portrait 1989–2009 is a monumental edition in which Stephan Vanfleteren brings twenty years of portrait photography together. In his characteristic black-and-white style, he captures artists, writers, politicians, athletes and other prominent figures from Belgium and the Netherlands with an intensity that is at once timeless and human.

The book offers a rich overview of his oeuvre in a large square format, with carefully printed images that fully let the power of his analogue and digital work come into their own. The portraits range from intimate and vulnerable to stately and iconic, but always with Vanfleteren's usual sense of quiet, character and detail.

An essential book for photography enthusiasts and one of the most valued publications within Vanfleteren's career.

Hardcover book in a linen binding, very good copy. 2nd edition.
