_________________________
Stefan Falke is a New York City based photographer who is as passionate about his commercial assignments as he is about his personal projects. His photographs have been featured by major international publications like PHOTO, The New York Times, Wired, Architectural Digest and his work was awarded by Communication Arts, IPA and ASMP. Corporate magazines, among them DHL, Siemens, Union Investment and American Express, are trusting his visual storytelling qualities. Falke’s main focus is on people photography but he is no stranger to interior photography, having documented Saks Fifth Avenue’s flagship store in Manhattan for many years on a regular basis.
His personal projects were exhibited in museums and galleries in the US, Mexico and Germany, and prestigious photo festivals like PHOTOVILLE in New York, Visa Pour L'Image in Perpignan, France, and the Triennale der Photographie Hamburg, Germany, presented his work.
Falke published three internationally acclaimed books:
“KEEP GOING NEW YORK !!”,
“LA FRONTERA: Artists along the US Mexico Border”
and “MOKO JUMBIES: The Dancing Spirits of Trinidad”.
He lives with his wife Christine in New York City.
Languages: English and German. And a little French too.
