Stefan's Biography
Stefan Hack was also born and raised here in the Bay Area.
He has also lived in Colorado, Massachusetts, New
York, and the Netherlands.
Stefan has been an avid photographer since
childhood. He has always pursued his art of
photography and produced stunning images of
wilderness, travel, culture, photojournalism, and
fine art. He has an eye for convergence, an acute
sense of light, and an intuitive sense of
composition.
He has studied under such notable teachers as
Holman Turner and Jeff Weston, who have helped him
achieve a high degree of technical ability,
knowledge of different qualities of light, and the
ability to work in different lighting situations. He
uses these skills to augment his wonderfully
intuitive sense, and he so often manages to capture
scenes at just the right moment.
Stefan's philosophy is to use equal parts
photojournalism and traditional wedding photography.
He is equally adept at "going with the flow" and
capturing moments as they happen, as well as
coordinating large groups for family portraits and
posing the bride and groom in elegant, traditional
poses. |
