THE EROTICISM OF STEFAN MAY
Born in Germany in 1962, Stefan May discovered his passion for photography after studying medicine.
He first documented skin diseases using a Leica and a ring flash for archival purposes. Later, he moved to Sydney, where he worked as an assistant to fashion and beauty photographers. Eventually, he decided to fully dedicate himself to photography, working internationally for prestigious magazines such as Leica Fotografie International, Black & White Australia, Photo Italia, GQ, Vogue, and for clients like IBM, Lancaster, Coty Cosmetics, and Davidoff.
His work—available in an exclusive online archive—covers themes such as beauty, the human body, portraits, celebrities, animals, and landscapes. However, he is best known for his sensual black-and-white photographs of women and couples.
