Stephan Vanfleteren

Stephan Vanfleteren was born in Kortrijk in 1969,"[https://www.rtbf.be/musiq3/article/detail_stephan-vanfleteren?id=8991786 Stephan Vanfleteren]", RTBF.

In 1993, while awaiting military service, he made a trip to New York, where he mostly did street photography. He has described New York as his "entrance ticket" to the profession of photography.Joep Eijkens, "[https://www.photonmagazine.eu/uit-het-rijke-leven-en-werk-van-stephan-vanfleteren Uit het rijke leven en werk van Stephan Vanfleteren]", PhotoNmagazine.eu, 26 November 2019.

Vanfleteren started out as primarily a photojournalist for the newspaper De Morgen."[https://web.archive.org/web/20191102224609/http://www.museephoto.be/galerienikon/liste-des-photographes-en/stephan-vanfleteren-en/ Stephan Vanfleteren – Nikon Gallery]", {{Interlanguage link|qid=Q1955717|Museum of Photography (Charleroi)|lt=Musée de la Photographie: Centre d'art contemporain de la Fédération Wallonie}}.

Co-founder of the publishing company Uitgeverij Kannibaal/Hannibal, he is also its artistic director.

In May 1999, Vanfleteren travelled around the USA with his friend the Swiss photographer {{Interlanguage link|qid=Q4026748|Robert Huber (photographer)|lt=Robert Huber}}, in the footsteps of their idol Elvis Presley. They photographed each other, "in identical white jumpsuits, mirror shades and high-rise hair",Alfred Hickling, "[https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2001/dec/13/art.artsfeatures Elvis and Presley]", The Guardian, 12 December 2001. Accessed 19 August 2021. as "Elvis" (Huber) and "Presley" (Vanfleteren), in humdrum scenes from Times Square to Death Valley. Vanfleteren photographed in black and white, Huber in colour. This led to Vanfleteren's first major bookJohan de Vos, "[https://www.standaard.be/cnt/dst02122000_048 Vanfleteren en Huber in de VS. Elvis & Presley]", De Standaard, 2 December 2000.

Accessed 19 August 2021. Both photographers, said a reviewer of the exhibition at the Open Eye Gallery, showed themselves to "have a fine eye for ironic composition".

Vanfleteren's portraits have been his best-known and most recognizable work. Always in black and white, he has photographed many people from the art world but also many who are unknown. A review in Het Nieuwsblad of an exhibition of his portraits commented that Vanfleteren's proximity to the faces and the detail of the photographs together almost create "death masks of the living".Dominique Dierick, "[https://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/blddi_20090906_003 Fotograaf Stephan Vanfleteren exposeert in Wintercircus]", Het Nieuwsblad, 7 September 2009. Accessed 10 September 2021.dodenmaskers van levenden

As an international project, Vanfleteren has given faces to numerous people living in poverty and isolation in Antwerp and Brussels. "While I focused on their eyes, I listened to their experiences." In 2009 these portraits, along with others, became the subject of an exhibition at Le Botanique, a cultural centre in Brussels.Jacques Duchateau, "[https://www.lavenir.net/cnt/303979 Stephan Vanfleteren: Belgicum]", L'Avenir, 14 June 2009. Accessed 17 August 2021. Most were taken with one of Vanfleteren's four Rolleiflexes, as their waist-level finders allowed him to get close.{{Rp|205}}

In the same year, at {{Interlanguage link|qid=Q2044286|Wintercircus Mahy}}, Ghent, Vanfleteren exhibited Portret 1989–2009, around two hundred portraits in black and white of people who had had some media presence during the previous two decades. The exhibition then went on tour.

In 2018, he published Surf Tribe, for which he had made a months-long journey around the world, making portraits of surfers. He went to the most celebrated beaches for surfing, but also little-known places in order to portray the most famous surfers, champions as well as unknown amateurs. He did not photograph them in motion but instead captured their static portraits on the beach.

From September 2007 to February 2008, the exhibition Belgicum was held at Fotomuseum Antwerp (FoMu). A review in La Libre described this:

Dilapidated buildings, outdated town fairs, unfashionable bars [. . .]. Series of portraits – one could call them mugs – of persons bearing the scars of their hard lives, landscapes engulfed in mist, a document of the repetitive days of an internee at the Guislain Institute in Ghent and finally an un-embellished portrayal of Theofiel, an old farmer broken down amid a pile of objects. This is all "Belgicum"; and obviously, as the [book of the same title] also shows, this tragic Belgium of the little people between canals and side-roads is in fact that of a true Simenon of photography.Jean-Marc Bodson, "[https://www.lalibre.be/culture/arts/2007/11/07/style-belge-OT4XSBVCLNA4ZFL2D3PC3D5H2I/ Style belge]", La Libre, 7 November 2007. Accessed 10 September 2021.Bâtisses délabrées, kermesses ringardes, bistrots borgnes, des ambiances qui se prolongent dans sept suites d'images installées en grand tout autour du reste de la salle. Séries de portraits – de gueules plus exactement – d'écorchés de la vie dure, paysages tous noyés dans la brume, constat des journées répétitives d'un interné de l'institut Guislain à Gand et enfin description au couteau de Theofiel, un vieux fermier cassé au milieu de son capharnaüm. C'est tout cela "Belgicum" et de toute évidence, comme le laisse voir également le très bel album éponyme, cette Belgique tragique des petites gens entre canal et trajectoires obliques est en fait celle d'un véritable Simenon de la photo.

Vanfleteren was the fifth (after Bernard Plossu, Dave Anderson, Jens Olof Lasthein and Claire Chevrier) in a series of photographers to be provided with a residency at the {{Interlanguage link|qid=Q1955717|Museum of Photography (Charleroi)|lt=Museum of Photography}} in Charleroi.Paulette Nandrin, "[https://www.moustique.be/archives/2015/06/24/charleroi-son-amour-132586 Charleroi, son amour]", Moustique, 24 June 2015. Accessed 10 September 2021.Joep Eijkens, "[https://www.photonmagazine.eu/charleroi-gezien-door-stephan-vanfleteren-de-winterreis-van-een-betrokken-fotograaf Charleroi gezien door Stephan Vanfleteren, de winterreis van een betrokken fotograaf]", PhotoNmagazine.eu, 2015. Accessed 15 September 2021. He produced a series of photographs, including many portraits, taken in that city, which had been greatly affected by deindustrialization. These were exhibited in the museum in 2015. The exhibition was described on RTBF as "a tender look at a harsh reality", and as having links to the work of August Sander and Walker Evans yet being the product of a singular vision.Pascal Goffaux, "[https://www.rtbf.be/culture/arts/photo/detail_stephan-vanfleteren-charleroi-sera-blanc-un-jour?id=9038473 Stephan Vanfleteren – Charleroi sera blanc un jour]", RTBF, 23 July 2015. Accessed 10 September 2021.Il livre un reportage à fleur de peau et pose un regard tendre sur une réalité âpre. [. . .] Le reportage humaniste de Stephan Vanfleteren a la force du style documentaire qui le relie à des auteurs tels August Sander et Walker Evans, mais le regard du photographe est singulier. A review in Moustique said:

Alone, free as a dog, sidling between fog and neon lights, in streets where memories of once flourishing industry disintegrate, or contemplating from the top of a slag heap a landscape where factories once spewed smoke, it is above all all the decay of the world that he encounters.Seul, libre comme un chien, se faufilant entre brouillard et néons, dans des rues où s’écroulent les souvenirs d’une industrie autrefois florissante, ou contemplant du haut d’un terril un paysage où les usines vomissaient autrefois des nuages de fumée, c’est surtout toute la décrépitude du monde qu’il croise.

With rare exceptions, Vanfleteren has only photographed in black and white. However, in 2013 he published a series of colour photographs, taken several years earlier, of old wall advertisements, facades destined for demolition or abandoned shop windows; these appeared in a lavishly produced book, Façades & Vitrines."[https://web.archive.org/web/20161203223631/http://galeriehilanehvonkories.de/en/vanfleteren/facades/ Façades & Vitrines]", Galerie Hilaneh von Kories, 2014. Retrieved by the Wayback Machine on 3 December 2016.

In 2016, Vanfleteren made a series of photographs for an exhibition, Stil leven, at the {{Interlanguage link|qid=Q28956940|Museum Oud Amelisweerd}} (MOA), in Bunnik. Rejecting the museum's initial request for photographs of the Atlantic Wall, he let himself be influenced by the environment of the museum and the surrounding park to realize a series of nudes, still lifes with dead animals, in both black and white and colour. His photos form a dialogue with the work of the painter Armando, the building, and the surrounding nature.Jeroen Wielaert, "[https://nos.nl/artikel/2093752-stil-leven-sterke-ontmoeting-tussen-armando-en-vanfleteren.html Stil leven: sterke ontmoeting tussen Armando en Vanfleteren]", NOS, 19 March 2016.

In 2020, Fotomuseum Antwerp organized a major retrospective, Present, which followed Vanfleteren's thirty years of photography, with personal reflections: from street photography in cities such as New York to the Rwandan genocide, from store facades to the "darkly beautiful"Jakob Schiller, "[https://www.wired.com/2014/05/stephan-vanfleteren-atlantic-wall/ The eerie, crumbling bunkers of the Nazis' Atlantic Wall]", Wired, 22 May 2014.

Until the 1960s, only leading cyclists originating from the province of West- and East-Flanders were considered as flandriens. After 1960, the media extended the use of this term to Belgian cyclists in general and even to international cyclists. | author=Stef Van Puyenbroeck, et al. | source="Can Cancellara really be a Flandrien?
