Stéphane de Bourgies démarre son activité de photographe à l’âge de 16 ans. Il couvre alors la plupart des défilés parisiens et en particulier ceux du couturier Nino Cerruti. Rapidement l’envie le gagne de mettre lui-même en scène ses modèles. C’est alors qu’il rencontre à 18 ans Henry Coste qui lui fera découvrir le studio, le portrait et qui lui transmettra toute une approche de l’être humain sur laquelle il ne cesse de travailler encore aujourd’hui. A 23 ans, Stéphane ouvre son studio à Paris. Depuis, il ne cesse de réaliser des portraits noir et blanc d’hommes et de femmes, connus ou inconnus, artistes, mannequins ou hommes d’affaires et ce dans les domaines de la presse, de l’édition et de la publicité.
Stephane de Bourgies began working as a photographer at the age of sixteen. He was first hired to shoot the parisian runway shows, particularly those of Nino Cerruti. Soon after, Stéphane became interested in photographing the fashions in his own manner. At the age of 18 he met Henry Coste who introduced him to studio work, portraiture and how to capture the essence of a human being, an approach that remains at the heart of his work today. By twenty-three, Stéphane opened his studio in Paris. Now, his strength remains in portraiture, mostly black-and-white, of men and women, known and unknown, many of whom are artists, fashion models and business people. They are pivotal players from the press, publishing, advertising.
