For the past twelve years, Stephan Vanfleteren (b. ) has been working intense hours in his daylight studio at home. Atelier is a collection of that work. Vanfleteren is searching for beauty and meaning, both in daylight and under artificial light. Grey stage curtains are everywhere as a constantly repeating background. The photographer embraces wellknown personalities and anonymous people. He inspects and captures the grooves in the face of an old fisherman and the hand of Nick Cave on the same terms as he does a beachcombed bottle. He focuses an adoring gaze on his own children coming of age as well as on impassioned artists in their old age. He sees the frozen corpse of a kingfisher and the body of a twisting dancer, and watches as the sunlight slowly shifts across his stage curtain.
Vanfleteren connects to the traditions of old and contemporary masters but remains faithful to his characteristic style. His craftsmanship and artistic nature make us both witness and party to the splash of incoming light.

A journey through the oeuvre of photographer Stephan Vanfleteren, with expansive personal reflections and stories from three decades of encounters and photography
“At times I think that Stephan has a clear idea of how to make his photographs work so well. But then there’s this book here, showing us he is constantly, across a wide range of situations, searching for his visual language, for his self, for stories that need to be told, and then the work becomes so exciting again for me, and important and rich, that I want to drown myself in it. A masterful collection.”
— Anton Corbijn, photographer and director
“I am more than a passenger of the past. People sometimes ask me if I look back too much. Of course, I look back, but I also look forward, to the left, to the right, up and down. Far and near. And for the first time I’m also really looking inside.”
— Stephan Vanfleteren

De voorbije twaalf jaar fotografeerde Stephan Vanfleteren () zeer intens in zijn daglichtstudio thuis. Atelier is de verzameling van dat werk. Zowel in daglicht als met kunstlicht gaat Vanfleteren op zoek naar schoonheid en betekenis. Grijze theaterdoeken zijn daarbij altijd aanwezig als constant terugkerende achtergrond. De fotograaf omarmt bekende persoonlijkheden en anonieme mensen. Hij toont het gelaat van een oude visser en inspecteert zowel de hand van Nick Cave als een op het strand gejutte fles. Hij adoreert zijn eigen opgroeiende kinderen en bevlogen oude kunstenaars. Hij bekijkt het verstijfde lijkje van
