John Stember Biography

by Jennifer Doom

 

 ARAEA - Marion Brocard

             



John Stember's Photography is focused on the beauty of Woman 

 

Women from all regions around the world, all ethnic groups and cultures no matter what color or race, both primitive and modern. The work is inspired primarily by his passion and creative imagination ... therefore not necessarily intended to be an historical or cultural reference.

 

John Stember was born in London and has lived in Paris, New York and Los Angeles before arriving in Tahiti.  He has photographed for every major fashion magazine in the world, including American Vogue English Vogue, French Vogue, Italian Vogue, Harpers, Bazaar, Glamour, Marie Claire France, Marie Claire Spain, Elle, Vanity Fair, Cosmopolitan, Allure, Life, Photo Magazine, GQ, New York Times, LA Times and many other journals and magazines. He has also been the Photographer of Choice for hundreds of international commercial advertising campaigns in both Europe and USA from Revlon to Coca Cola and many other Fortune 500 clients.

 

John left New York in April 2001 on his sailboat for the 7,000 mile voyage to Tahiti French Polynesia following an intuitive calling to sail to the remote islands of the South Pacific Ocean, to immerse himself in abundant nature. After an adventurous journey he finally arrived in the Marquesas Islands to a wave of inspiration which led him to develop a passion for the raw beauty of nature. In time he developed a strong passion for 'Primitivism' in his work holding the belief that primitive man was closer to the source of creativity and inspiration than "civilized" man. He's now focused on the multifaceted ethnic beauty of women in Tahiti French Polynesia, and their profound relationship to the Earth, as it was during humanity's infancy in primeval times. by his passion/creative imagination not as a historical reference

 

John published his first book of photography titled ‘Te Hine Manea’ or ‘Devine Femininity’ which pays homage to the mysterious beauty of Tahitian Women and the all powerful spiritual force of ancient Tahiti called the ‘MANA' John has introduced his artistic aesthetic to over thirty five thousand of his 'facebook' friends who have enthusiastically embraced his vision. He believes that the modern online interactive culture needs to move away from the stagnant commercial imagery to more intimate personal images which reflect humanity that people can experience in a more self-referential way.

 

He is currently working on an visual project in cooperation with an international media organization that will focus on the multifaceted ethnic beauty of women from Ancient Tribal Cultures' around the world focussing on 'The Beauty of Women We Have Never Seen'.

Today, John Stember is the acknowledged master of ‘Primitivism in Photography’

a naïve style that he has perfected to visually transition us back to

ancient cultures in a distant world.

He is now based in Tahiti, French Polynesia where he continues his visual pursuit

into the source of his creativity in nature itself.

Wow Wow Hello John, I'm so proud to be one of your friends in FB....I just go through some of your Amazing photo shooting on Youtupe and I fall inlove with the beauty of your Photos, you shows the world how Innocent, pure,

natural and beautiful our people from the Island

;)....Bravo, you are one of the rare bird ;)) Thank you and I post some of your video on our new page ...

Pacific Islanders Europe

Rapa Nui was settled before Aotearoa was. The journey of the great seafarers traced its root to Havaiki, present day Tahiti. Havaiki was the centre of great oceanic adventures which led to the settlement of Hawaii, Rarotonga, Samoa, Tonga,

and finally New Zealand. Those who landed in Samoa

explored more and settled Tokelau, Tuvalu, and some tiny islands in the Solomons and Micronesia (e.g. Tikopia, Isikaiana, Kapingamarangi). There are other islands that were also settled by the Havaikians.

par les erosions des vents et qui ont besoin d'un traitement avec un produit special allemand. Unesco ne donne pas assez!...etc. en attendant l'arrivè de te hine manea que je vais comander je vous souhaite bonne journèe à tahiti! ... je voyerais bien

Jean-Daniel Vonlanthen

I found your site on your wonderful pictures. I am a man, I have a deep respect for women

and I find that each photo is a tribute to women.

I love the sweetness and mystery of your photos because you get to feel the soul beyond the body.

I was excited to see that you've had the privilege of photographing Gia Carangi for whom I have enormous admiration.

I see a long time on the net photos of Gia and I had them ranked in the most beautiful and most moving

without knowing who was the author.

I am really pleased to thank you for these photos of Gia who are magnificent testimonies to the

absolute beauty of this woman.

Gia is for me an angel who gave a name to beauty.

Whenever I think of her I'm sad that her life was so short and she had ended in suffering from the disease.

Before you leave again I want to salute your talent and thank you for the beautiful tribute that you

provide to women in this age where you still see too much violence against women.

1000 times thank you ..... long time and continue to amaze us

Amanda Lancour

Brian Hamilton

viewed with delight. wonderful stuff

Brian Hamilton

it was delightful to watch and imagine the heady red earth tones in a colour version.

somewhat reminiscent of my time with amazonian Indians who used similar coloration for their bodies.

Great work John the way the bodies and the earth link in form and texture.

Lucía Steppenwolf

Awesome, astonishing beautiful work as always I LOVED IT!

Jeff Antonic

Excellent John..Kudos !

Brian Hamilton

interesting concept, I imagined the red hues of earth and body mixed together in a fusion of life.

La Rose Boulba

indétrônable en la matière cher John !

Tom Bredinin

...and when I see your pictures I feel the power of a strange,unknown but beautiful World.

Its a journey to a Land full of mystery and virginity.

That pureness I will explore...and i will bless it... some Day.

And I know: that is the Day of no return cause it will be my Home and Shelter for the end of Time.

take care John. T

Angelik De Lys

Merci for this wonderful video A AIA,

I truly cherish these beautiful people and can see how you caught their spirit. I am so glad

you are in Tahiti. The polynesian are truly special. I have been moved by them, their spirits and the

spirits of their ancestors are with them all the time.

I see this in Poeravanui, her sister Raariihau and many of their siblings whenever we are there.

It is fun to see how an englishman sees the arrival of the white person, we also talk of the french,

what they did and so on. My observation is that it is impossible to change them, they have their

Gods and goddesses with them despite what we call "civilization" they are more civilized than us

It is a pleasure to know you and when we come there, we hope to meet with you.

A bientot

It is So Amazing. I want it to be shown here in Zagreb

Quel talent ! bravo ! Encore et encore merci Monsieur John !

STUNNING!!!!! MORE PLEASE!

Beautiful, Alien. Every shot was stunning! The music was really cool, made me really on edge.....thank

you for using a natural girl, so sick of artificial enhanced "aliens". They do not look artistic like yours.

Brilliant! Really loved it. A great extension of Avatar The Movie.

Haunty, dramatic almost a solarized emersion into a darkness.

Wonderful stuff, you must be very proud of this work....well done, a work of art very beautiful work!

Dear Mr. Stember, I have seen your 'fotofilms' more times.

ALIEN is very beautiful. I remain amazed for the vibrating emotions deriving from its vision.

A noble creature, sensitive, evocative, floating.

It's a wonderful work indeed! GREAT...

magnifique John comme à ton habitude. Merci et toute mon Amitié.

La musique colle parfaitement au thème.

Très belle ALIEN, qui se fond tel un caméléon au décor. On dirait presque qu'elle est faite de bronze.

J'aime bcp

ce côté nature et sauvage. C'est un très beau travail artistique, qui a l'avantage  de n'être jamais vulgaire. Une très belle histoire visuelle!

great work of art John! I love the way you use light.

wow papa. aliens is remarkable. absolutely my favorite film to date. love it!

"Dear John, I love your work."

This is wonderful work... the photos are so alive... it`s like you can feel what

"All the cards I send to my friends are the lovely tahitian women with that deep stare sometimes wistful sometimes determined to catch the sun,

with always that mystery looming somewhere, these cards are black and white devoid of commercial sauce,

they are the very essence of Tahiti, by J. Stember."

Loved your films and music. Is somewhere in time away from time.

Your movie is reflecting, with all due respect, the beauty and the top of your Art. TAPU is the "chef-d'oeuvre" of a Master.

I have been continuously thrilled with the Passion and the emotions revealed throughout the role played by 2 talented young actors.

Merci pour tout, John

I'm Camila Pujol and i'm15 years old, I moved from Tahiti about 3 months ago and now I'm living in paris..My family is very close to reponty's family,

Hana is my sister's best friend, and we still keep in touch.. I saw that you have been taking fotos with Hana, and they are very impressive and beautiful.

Hi John ... Your art is remarkable!!! I hope to visit French Polynesia and the Cook Islands some day.

It just seems that their culture is so much closer to nature and "Paradise" ...

Darling !... Thank you soo much for the beautiful photos...I am... sans mots ... And I sooo wanna go back there with you !!! Really...

I m just a fan of this place lol :) "I love this place I love this place hihihihihi", remember ? Other than that, what can I say ?

Probably the best moment I had at Rapa Nui ? Love UUUUU 123 Xxxxxxxx

Thank you for sharing your beautiful work...it truly captures the passion of young love, and the black & white images are stunning.

You have captured the mystery and magical quality of French Polynesia with these clips... I want to visit!

Very beautiful. She has peace inside and you brought it out.

Une jolie histoire d'amour et de disparition, different, well done ... I like it !!!

"John, juste merci. C'est beau !"

I so looove the photos ... You saw me and pictured me like no one did. You are my John ;)

It s crazy for me to see these pictures as I never had them or only in a very bad quality. It's really nice to have been able to see them.

Now it reminds me of rapa nui time with you. The way we missed our plane was beautiful, very premedited when we think about it.

How nice was it to be on this boat fishing the last day ? Can't think of a more delicious moment out of time.

These photos mean a lot to me. You really took my rapa nui part. I feel really grateful.

Very good pictures!!! All facial expression are so real, It s beautiful!! Thanks to show your talent.

C sublime et plein d'émotion, j'en ai la chair de poule.

I have to say the Mr. Stember does some brilliant work. I have always been a fan of Black and White photography, Adams, and Nimoy.

Mr. Stember's work reminds me of Leonard Nimoy's work. The body in black and white. Very nice work sir!

From what I saw on the link through facebook, he is an incredible artist

Greetings from the City of Angels! Thanks your artistic body of work is GENIUS! I

My goal is to learn photography, i love to take photos and its a dream for me if you can teach that,

i would go for sure to tahihti to learn with you

*teach me xxxxx

Hola. Está muy bueno el video. Creo conocer a la chica de las fotografías y me parece que logró una expresión impresionante.

Me gustó mucho el escenario que utilizaste para las imágenes. Con respecto a la música, creo que me hubiese gustado

algo que tuviera más consecuencia con las imágenes, es decir, algo más de la música rapa nui antigua y que retratara la

importancia del rol de la mujer rapa nui en tiempos antiguos.

Muchos saludos y gracias por publicar este trabajo.

You have captured the mystery and magical quality of French Polynesia with these clips. I

J'AIME TA PHILOSOPHIE DE L'IMAGE ET DE LA VIE . ELLE MÉRITE D'ÊTRE RECONNUE AUX YEUX DES PROFANES

Your photos are more and more astonishing and enchanting with sounds! My compliments!

Sublime !

Bonjour, quand je regarde vos photos, elle sont vraiment magnifiques, et je me demandais si vous faisiez

aussi des photos pour les particuliers?

Good work! theses photos are wonderful 'n the backgound with the sound of the waves gave me the desire to come back where i am from! :)

I have been spending way too much time on facebook these last few days, mostly looking at your photos! Beautiful!!!!

"Your photos are strong in the ethnicity of Easter Island, but the backdrop of the music brings it all to life and encompasses the culture.

It brought me back to wonderful memories..."

Hanalei and Fabrice are beautiful subjects alone, but their chemistry together is profound.

The waves are dramatic and very romantic. Makes us believe in finding love...

I'm not sure that we know each other but I'm flattered ... Your photos are so great...good for a good escape to life.

Le détournement du regard de Hana et le regard du jeune homme...Nan vraiment magnifique

There is also beauty without vanity- she is completely at ease and trusts you the photographer.

Then the passion shows with young lovers on the

beach- the simplicity of B&W shots takes you into the photo itself so you are not distracted. Love your style.

Just watched this again papa. soooo beautiful. very moving photos. i have to come be your assistant!! ... xxx.

Well done John! Always telling stories with beautiful women at their core

"A wonderful site! ... Tonight  I looked at your 'fOtOfilm'  A'AIA, and it made me cry; it affected me emotionally.

I wish I had more words besides beautiful. The model Eyanne conveys so much emotion with her whole being,

but especially with her eyes. I love the photo at 2:48 where she's standing nobly, and of course the

amazing sequence at 4:00 where the camera zooms in on her face. It's ferocious and astounding."

"your website is cool! great pictures!"

"nice to be the friend of such a talented man as you!"

Beaucoup de sensualité et poésie ! magnifique !

I love your photos John
