Through her intimacy with her subjects and sweeping cinematic vision, Stephanie Pfriender Stylander has created unforgettable images over the last twenty five years, for such leading magazines as French Glamour, Vanity Fair, British GQ, and Interview, with portraits of icons such as Keith Richards, Nicole Kidman, Lenny Kravitz, Heath Ledger, and Kate Moss, who graces the cover of the photographer’s first monograph.
'THE UNTAMED EYE', published by MW Editions, released in September 2018 introduces you to Pfriender Stylander’s world of gritty realism, inspired by Italian Neorealism, the French New Wave, and John Cassavetes films. Exquisitely designed by Takaaki Matsumoto, 'THE UNTAMED EYE' brings together Pfriender Stylander’s evocative and sensual fashion and celebrity photographs from 1990 to 2006.
In September, La Galerie de l'Instant in Paris will open with an exhibition, reception and book signing. There will also be book signings at the Staley-Wise Gallery in New York and late fall at the Morrison Hotel Gallery in Los Angeles.
After earning an Associate of Science from Endicott College and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from The School of Visual Arts in New York, Pfriender Stylander went on to assist the legendary photographer Art Kane. Her career in fashion photography began in the early 1990’s when she moved to Milan and Paris and quickly earned a reputation for creating evocative images.
Pfriender Stylander’s photographs have been included in exhibitions at Festival International de la Photo de Mode, Art Basel Miami, Paris Photo, Photo Shanghai, and are housed in private collections. She has won numerous awards from the Lucie Foundation, American Photography, Communication Arts and Graphis. She is represented by the Staley-Wise Gallery in New York, the Morrison Hotel Gallery in New York and Los Angeles and La Galerie de l’Instant in Paris.
