Stefan De Lay
Stefan De Lay came to photography a little bit by chance because his father lent him his old Olympus camera. He bought film randomly and it happened to be a black & white. He had this first film developed by a friend who appreciated the pictures and encouraged him to go on and take more photos. He has been taking pictures for about 20 years now.

He only works with black & white because of taste. He finds it more "pictorial". Black & white allows one to control all the different steps of production like shooting, developing and printing. This whole process is important to Stefan because he thinks of photography as complete artistic creation. This implies that it is necessary to control all the aspects of this art; from planning the set and lightning to framing the result. He works with a Hasselblad camera and uses Ilford 400 ISO films printed on Ilford deluxe paper. Original pictures for exhibitions are printed on Baryte paper, enlarged to 46x46cm with beveled pass keys and a flat black frame. They are treated with selenium for conservation. 

Curiously people who go to his exhibitions regard him as a nude photographer and do not know him as a portrait artist. And the people who know him as a portrait artist cannot start to think he also is a nude photographer. Most of his nudes are personal pictures whereas his portraits are client orders.
