Stephan Ernst is an award-winning fine art photographer based in Weimar, Germany. His work explores the intimate intersection between light, emotion, and the human form – often balancing vulnerability and strength in a poetic visual language.

He was awarded Gold at the Trierenberg Super Circuit, one of the world’s most prestigious photography contests, and received Silver at the Tokyo International Foto Awards (TIFA). On 1x.com, the curated art photography platform, all six of his submitted works were published – five of them received official awards by the expert curators.

With a background in both visual storytelling and transformation coaching, Stephan creates immersive experiences that extend beyond the image. His current focus lies on fine art nude and boudoir photography with a conceptual, soulful approach.
