A friend of mine put me on to this photographer who just blew me away. I don't know what cameras he uses, but the images are amazing.

You can read an interview Stephan gave here:

As for the equipment he is using, he says...
Everything depends on the assignment. For portraits I often use a Pentax 6/7 with only the standard lens. The Canon 5D for the fast job and pure reportage. For the more personal, intimate work, nothing beats the eternal love for my old, worn out and, unfortunately sometimes unreliable, Rolleiflex.

Thanks for the extra info cfoto, he is an interesting man. I don't know whether to jump on a plane with a bag of cameras or just give up in frustration at never being able to achieve Stephan's incredible exposures/compositions.

It would be nice to know how he gets that great contrast but still maintains the full tonal range. Not a blown highlight in sight!
