Jan C. Schlegel (1965) was born in the Black Forest of Germany. He discovered his passion for photography at the age of 14. From the influence and counsel of Walter Schels and Toni Schneiders, he began to ascertain his fervor for black-and-white portraits.

At 18 he was professionally trained in photography. In 1998, he began traveling throughout Asia and Africa with the objective of photographing diverse people groups and tribes.

Through these experiences, he developed a striking style of capturing the beauty in these nations. Schlegel not only succeeds in creating artistic photographs, but also in documenting and preserving unique artworks - the people themselves.
