Fabian Stürtz : portraits that reach out

There is something about self-taught photographers, that separates their early work ; this amateurism that lingers on the borderline of professional commercial photography, this spirit that fails to frame as an experienced professional would, but ends up with a photo that has this liveliness, that certain something that you cannot actually put in words, but you can see it’s in there. Well, if you know what I’m babbling about, check out the work of German photographer Fabian Stürtz. In the laconic description of his portfolio we read : “Fabian Stürtz was born in Cologne, Germany in 1984 and still lives there today. The self-taught photographer has been working as a freelancer since 2006.” Read a brief interview here.
