Stephanie Alcaino’s photographic style embodies the spirit of her culturally diverse subjects.

An identical twin, Stephanie grew up in Sydney Australia, exposed to an eclectic cultural upbringing (with a German mother, Chilean father and Australian education). As a child she immersed herself in painting and drawing but discovered her love for photography whilst travelling with her family. Observing new places and interacting with strong cultures around the world served to challenge Stephanie to understand her own origins and excavate her unique identity.

This has inspired how Stephanie approaches every subject that she photographs. Her belief is that in an origin lies a foundation to build on and gravity to draw people in. In the last seven years working within the fashion industry she has found that the most successful brands are the ones who continuously promote a culture and not just a product. Stephanie believes every brand is unique - distinctive, different and unlike any other. Her aim is to unearth the message of a brand’s rich heritage to create a larger mission: a cohesive story that brings in loyal customers, not just consumers

Stephanie’s work is stylistically unique as it draws from a vast range of inspirations and education; whether it be her love of fine arts, her 7 years of experience within the fashion industry or her diverse encounters with cultures from around the world.

When she isn’t behind a lens, Stephanie loves to travel with her husband, enjoys grueling workouts and is an avid animal lover (especially dogs).
