Stefan Schmid lives and works in Hamburg and Shanghai. He got his first camera at the age of 12 and was immediately fascinated by this special way of capturing moments and memories. After studying Film and Media Studies at Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe University he started working as a fashion and advertising photographer in 2002. 

His way of approaching people he works with gives his images this unique closeness and moments of spontaneity and authenticism. His passion for photography leads him to always work on the limit, doing the best possible to create images that exceed what is expected. He loves the creative process of a team working together.

Stefan has been working for national and international clients such as Mercedes Benz, Casio, Nike and magazines such as Cosmopolitan and Elle.

Stefan is represented by D'ELE Management and Production.
