Stephane Polteau

Zhau





Stéphane Polteau (born 1974 in France) is a geologist who lived in France, Ireland, South Africa, and in Norway. Currently spending most of his time in Oslo, he shifted his focus to portraiture. The vintage look of his portraits ties together life, decay and death, and resembles real antique portraits depicting long-gone persons. Stéphane uses an 8x10 large format camera and shutterless vintage optics from 1870 to 1950, ranging from classic portrait lenses to simple magnifying glass.
