Celebrity Photographer Europe | Stefan Sappert
Where Art Meets Icon.
Stefan Sappert is a Europe-based celebrity and entertainment photographer known for his timeless portraits of global icons.
Working between Vienna, London, and Los Angeles, he captures actors, musicians, and artists through a rare, hand-crafted process — the wet-plate collodion technique, where each image is created on glass and developed in silver light.
His work includes portraits of Johnny Depp, Alice Cooper, Sting, Billy Gibbons, and David Duchovny, each piece existing as a one-of-a-kind artwork.
Combining 19th-century craftsmanship with contemporary vision, Sappert’s portraits transcend digital photography — they are cinematic, raw, and deeply human.
For over a decade, his creations have been featured in international exhibitions, fine-art collections, and private commissions across Europe and the United States. Whether on set, on tour, or in his Vienna atelier, Stefan builds an atmosphere of trust and intimacy that reveals the authentic character of each subject.
Sappert is available for celebrity, entertainment, and advertising photography throughout Europe and beyond — from editorial features and album covers to gallery projects and bespoke commissions.
