JOHN STEMBER
Introduction:
John Stember is among the world's most visionary photographers.
His recent ‘fOtOfilms’ series in Tahiti for his 'Dreamscapes' collection marks a unique breakthrough in photography by creating powerful free flowing images that reveal the beauty of the young ‘Ma’Ohi’ women of French Polynesia capturing the contemporary spirit of our modern youth culture.
Stember believes that in our modern online interactive world we need to move away from the posed commercial photography of the traditional fashion magazines and create more intimate, personal imagery that people can relate to more easily in their own lives. This is evidenced now by the thousands of his friends and fans on Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, YouTube and Vimeo that have enthusiastically embraced and encouraged his work.
Stember realized early on that this dramatic shift in global awareness from print media to the Internet has dramatically changed our visual landscape. It was due this sudden shift to online media that inspired his creation of 'fOtOfilms' and ‘fOtOwalls’ to present his photography to the new online global audience.
The 'Dreamscapes' are short five to ten minute films which present a series of photographic images set to music with each one capturing a particular mood or surreal-dream theme. Stember has produced and directed thirteen ‘fOtOfilms’ and associated ‘fOtOwall’ galleries that open up a powerful new avenue to present his photography ~ 'fOtOfilms' and ‘fOtOwalls’ to a new audience.
John Stember's focus today is on his 'fOtOfilms' projects that pay homage to the mysterious beauty of the Ma’Ohi Culture of Tahiti in French Polynesia and the ancient all-powerful spiritual force called the ‘MANA'. A force that is manifest in his new book project called ‘TUPAPPA’U’.
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.
Biography:
Over the course of his career John has photographed for every major fashion magazine including the many different editions of Vogue, Harpers, Bazaar, Glamour, Marie Claire, Elle, Vanity Fair, Cosmopolitan, Allure, Life, Photo, 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 including Revlon, Coca Cola and Fortune 500 clients.
John initially worked on a fifty minute documentary film about the 'Avant Garde' film director Jean-Luc Godard, and also featured in Godard's counter culture film 'Sympathy for the Devil' with Mick Jagger and the Roliing Stones. Stember’s feature length film about his first impressions of New York and the Vietnam War titled '7254' was featured at the Museum of Modern Art in NY, the 'Bergamo Film Festival' in Italy, the 'Cinematheque' in Paris France and the "Film Forum' in New York USA.
Stember has had many exhibitions in Tahiti including a big show at the Hotel de Ville and the small but prestigious Winkler Gallery in Papeete. His exhibitions have been a highly acclaimed success in Tahiti French Polynesia. John has been invited to take this exhibit on tour to some of the renowned art galleries of Europe following his current work on his new book projects.
He plans to focus on the plight of vanishing tribal cultures. His purpose is to capture the multifaceted ethnic beauty of women from these ancient worlds in an attempt to draw attention to their rapidly vanishing languages, customs and wisdom of their cultures before it is too late. Among earlier works is his book “Te Hine Manea” (Devine Feminine Beauty) that is but a forerunner of John Stember's current 'fOtOfilm' achievements.
John Stember is a leading member of the creative vanguard of progressive photographers that are enhancing our appreciation of beauty through his visual inspiration and powerful imagery in our rapidly changing contemporary world.
The 'JOHNSTEMBER.COM' interactive website and blog features his new photography, 'fOtOfilms', ‘fOtOwalls’ and Archives which are inter-linked to the most relevant online social networking sites.
Thoughtful marketing impacts our global community and keeps pace with an exciting and ever changing world.

perfect combination, she is young, she is sad, she is tuff,
she is open... lines, shadows, lights... love it! -=Kat=-
Her exquisite body is present, strong and confident, but her eyes say it all-
-she's lost, but not hopeless. Still seeking, hoping, full of expectation.
nice site!!! loving your pics
LOVE IT!
"Qu'est ce qu'elles sont belles!"
Superbes tes photos, as usual!
Exactly as you described! Good work!

The mystery of the Pacific remains...a divine power floats in her eyes
thank you for sharing these powerful pictures with all of us
We love the intensity of your work John
Here, the eternal Paradise is guarded by the ancients, our ancestors
as you know now.
Mauruuru

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

"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."

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

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.

AMAZING site ...AMAZING YOU ! J adore ....
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
