Stéphane Kyndt

Stéphane Kyndt is a professional photographer since 1997. Initially traversing paths in business and psychology,

Stéphane's pivot  towards photography was a revelation. Through self-teaching and relentless  practice, he honed his skills, delving deep into the intricacies of framing,  technique, and storytelling.  Over time, he forged a distinctive photographic style characterized by its  humanistic ethos, rich colors, warmth, and an unwaveringly positive outlook  on life. 
Sté Kyndt's odyssey led him across continents, where he spent a decade in  Los Angeles , serving as a photo correspondent specializing in celebrity  photography.  Yet, Stéphane's wanderlust was far from satisfied.

He returned to his  homeland, France, only to continue his globetrotting adventures. His work has taken him across the globe, from Madagascar to Colombia,  from Morocco to Uruguay and in many other countries.

His photographic expeditions, often centered on documentary and street photography, serve as poignant testimonies to the human condition and the  myriad facets of culture and society.  Each frame tells a story, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the  narrative woven by light and shadow, color and contrast.

"Street photography has also taught me to slow down. In a world that moves quickly, the camera gives me an excuse to stop, to observe, and to listen with my eyes. Even when I come home without a single good photo, I still feel I’ve learned something by paying attention.

“If I had to summarize, I’d say I’m always chasing layers of life– not just the subject, but everything orbiting around it. A photograph becomes interesting to me when it holds multiple stories at once, when it feels alive beyond the single instant it represents.

That’s probably why I’m in love with color, too. Color adds another layer of meaning, it makes the ordinary vibrate. I like to get close, to feel the pulse of the people I photograph, and color gives that pulse a voice.

So the recurring subject in my work isn’t one type of person or place – it’s the search for those small collisions where intimacy, energy, and contrast come together.”
