Stephan Huger
Austria Nominee Fine Art Professional "Trapped in the Festival" Nets symbolize restrictions, raising questions on freedom and societal expectations. Stephan Huger, born 1964 in Vienna. Lives and works in Vienna. In the course of his career as a photographer, Stephan Huger has made his specialty in architecture and portrait photography. In these branches he is active for international companies. In June 2016 he was distinguished as a "Master Qualified European Photographer" at Brussels. Stephan Huger completed his studies at a federal institution for education and research in the graphic arts, where he also passed his examination for the master craftsman's certificate, or Meisterpruefung. Since 1988 he has worked as a professional photographer. Huger is particularly interested in surfaces and forms and especially the effect of reflection and shine on them. Desired effects are enhanced, and fine surface details elaborated. Unwanted effects, however, are concealed through intentional manipulation of light, or afterwards, with help of image editing. Stephan Huger works both in his own studio as well as on site. A point of contrast to his architecture photography is his work in portrait photography, and his depictions of people. By observing his subjects as closely as possible and through direct contact with his models, he tries not only to capture their outer appearance, but also to reflect their inner personality.
