Creative quality, professional implementation and development - these are the big issues of Photo Studio Huger. Several national and international awards in recent years, and positive feedback from customers confirm that this is the right direction.

Stephan Huger can look back on almost 25 years of experience. In the course of his career, he has made architectural photography his specialty and regularly works for national and international companies. Since 2008 he has distinguished himself as a 'Qualified European Photographer/Architecture' in Brussels. 

He is particularly interested in surfaces and forms, and especially the effects of reflection and shine. Unwanted effects, however, are concealed through intentional manipulation of light, or afterwards with the help of image editing. He works both in his own studio as well as on location.
