Hit The Streets 01: Photographic Midlife Crisis with Bert Stephani

Valerie Jardin September 22, 2016

WELCOME to the first episode of my new podcast! If you listened to my show on Street Focus for 2 years and 104 episodes, I'm sure you will continue to enjoy my conversations on Hit the Streets with Valerie Jardin. Feedback is much appreciated as well as guest ideas for upcoming shows.

Photographic Midlife Crisis with Bert Stephani

This week my guest is photographer Bert Stephani. We talk about his 'Photographic Midlife Crisis' and the steps he has taken to get over it. I hope you enjoy our conversation. Don't forget to leave a comment and share with your friends!

Bio:

Bert Stephani is a 41 year old visual storyteller based in Belgium who focusses mainly on compelling portraiture and documentary work for commercial clients. The rest of Bert's work time is taken up by teaching and producing personal work. Trying to be a good father to his three kids is Bert's main priority and he likes to spend all his free time out in nature. 

Some big life changes forced Bert to rethink his life and work. This triggered a sort of "photographic midlife crisis" (that Bert wrote about on the KAGE Collective website). Bert doesn't see this as a bad thing, it's a way to grow as a human being and a photographer.
