Born in Düsseldorf, Germany in 1968, Stephan Goettlicher took up photography after a 15-year international career as a classical and modern ballet dancer.

A self-taught photographer, the still image quickly became a passion and he started to provide the theaters with photography for publications and programing while working as a dancer.

During this time he moved to Hamburg to assist some of Germany’s best industrial, portrait and fashion photographers. These proved to be invaluable formative experiences of the craft, just prior to the dominance of digital.

He became a freelance photographer in Hamburg in 2000.

Based in Miami since 2008 and in Chicago since 2018, he is exploring and developing his personal work further and began to show in galleries and various group shows.
