Stefan Scherf was born in 1964 in Wuppertal, Germany.
Already in his youth he was engaged in the medium of photography. In the 1990s, he presented images of his travels in public slide shows.
Since 2018, he has been attending seminars at the Lichtblick School in Cologne. The collaboration with Wolfgang Zurborn has significantly influenced his current photographic expression.
Stefan Scherf regularly presents his work in exhibitions:
2018 Atelier Schuetz, Villes-sur-Auzon, France
2019 Galerie im Hof, Altrip, Germany
2020 Galerie & Studio Ludwig XIV, Wuppertal, Germany
2021 Enfants Artspace, Hamburg, Germany
2021 ADA, Wuppertal, Germany
2022 Bandfabrik, Wuppertal, Germany
In 2021 he published his first photo book "The Golden Fleece".
With his photography, Stefan Scherf today concentrates on his immediate surroundings in both public and private space. His gaze focuses at everyday things and fleeting moments that may seem banal at first glance. But it is precisely in the unspectacular, which easily escapes our attention, that he shows an intense image of our everyday culture with unusual perspectives.
