Stephan Romer

Romer Gallery, New Zealand

In a career spanning 30 years, Stephan Romer has established himself as a multi-award-winning landscape photographer and one of the world’s leading commercial photographers. He releases an exclusive number of limited-edition New Zealand nature collections each year. Technical precision is a recurring theme throughout Stephan’s work and life. Born and educated in Germany, his early years were in industrial design followed by a photography internship with Germany’s most renowned commercial photographers, Brigitte Richter and Thomas Caspari. In the 1990s, Stephan found his niche in transport and landscape photography, working with some of the most distinguished names in the car industry. Prestigious vehicles require prestigious backdrops, and it was on these expeditions, Stephan discovered the landscapes of New Zealand and soon made this captivating place his permanent home. Stephan’s New Zealand landscape photography has garnered many award wins, including winning the Golden Camera for NZ Photographer of the Year (2019, 2020) and NZ Landscape Photographer of the Year (2019 and 2021) at the prestigious One Eyeland Awards. His work is sought out by collectors from around the globe, and his commissioned work has livened up many blank spaces in luxury homes and commercial buildings.
