Belgicum is a photo project about Belgium. It is not an objective
representation of a country but rather a subjective photographical
document in black and white. It's a journey of exploration into a
small country in the heart of Europe, at the turn of the centuries.
More than fifteen years Vanfleteren has wandered through and hunted
in the 'Belgicum' territories, guided by emotion and by the love
for his homeland. He made a journey through a scarred land, in
search of the irretrievable identity of a country with the
melancholic soul of an old nation. Over the past ten years, over
11,000 copies were sold of this international bestseller. Belgicum
grew out to be a reference work in the Belgian history of
photography. On the occasion of the tenth birthday of this cult
book, it was reprinted. With text by David Van Reybrouck. Text in
English, French and Dutch.

With Surf Tribe, photographer Stephan Vanfleteren shows that there
is far more to surf culture than just sport and competition.
Surfing is also about a deep admiration and respect for the ocean,
as well as the feeling of insignificance when confronted with the
forces of nature. Surfers use the waves for fun, but also to forget
and to battle, both with others and with themselves. Vanfleteren
looks beyond the traditional borders of the United States and
Australia and searches the globe for people who live in places
where sea and land meet. He documents a fluid community, with
nature as its sole leader. He has sought out young talent, living
icons, and old legends, both competitive and free surfers. The
photographs here are serene black and white portraits in
Vanfleteren's well-known, haunting style; as always, he reaches
below the surface and goes to the core of his subjects. Included,
amongst many others, are Kelly Slater, Gerry Lopez, John Florence,
Mickey Munoz, Filipe Toledo and Stephanie Gilmore. Surfer,
journalist, and actor Gerry Lopez has contributed the Foreword.
An ode to Alberic 'Briek' Schotte, the godfather of all flandriens.
The heroes of the Tour of Flanders and the Paris-Roubaix are tough
and determined. The Flemings specialise in riding on bad roads and
in bad weather. This set of photos provides an intimate and
emotional portrait of these legendary athletes, landscapes and the
Flemish culture. Stephan Vanfleteren has been photographing cycling
races in Belgium and its surrounding areas for more than 15 years
already. With more than 100 images, carefully selected by
photographer Stephan Vanfleteren.
A unique collaboration between two photographers, which resulted in
color (Robert Huber) and black and white (Stephan Vanfleteren)
photos inspired by Elvis Presley Huber and Vanfleteren traveled
trough the US looking for interesting places to shoot, using
themselves as costumed protagonists for their photo series In 1999,
photographers Robert Huber and Stephan Vanfleteren travelled
through the US in the wake of their hero, Elvis Presley. Elvis
(Huber) and Presley (Vanfleteren) invite you to share their journey
across the American landscape, from Times Square to Death Valley.
Decked out in glittering jumpsuits and big hair, this is the story
of two European photojournalists who travelled across eleven states
taking pictures of each other, Stephan Vanfleteren using black and
white film, Robert Huber, color. This is the ultimate pop idol on a
tour of America, interacting with the people, the places, the
history, the cool glances, the warm embraces, the hot coffee and
the cheap motels that define modern life."
For this unique book, photographer Servaas Van Belle scouted every
corner of Belgium to find just the right kind of shed, always
photographing them in the same perfect lighting conditions. And for
Van Belle 'perfect' means in a haze of fog. Livestock shelters in
meadows and fields are so common in the Belgian landscape and
culture that nobody ever pays them any attention. Nonetheless, the
countryside offers quite a range of architectural gems. These sheds
and barns are the product of man and nature, quietly radiating a
poignant if decaying beauty. They come in many shapes and sizes,
are constructed from motley materials (often recycled) and exhibit
a varied colour palette. Clearly showing the ravages of time, they
tell wordless stories that Servaas Van Belle can capture like no
other. Features an introduction by Stephan Vanfleteren. Text in
English and Dutch.
