Unique portrait series by the Belgian top photographer Stephan Vanfleteren. The successor to the successful photo book Belgicum by Stephan Vanfleteren. Belgicum was sold out in no time after publication.

Portret 1989-2009 is dedicated to the genre in which Stephan Vanfleteren has shown himself to be a true master in recent years: the portrait. The book contains 200 portraits of people, still alive and already dead, who, according to Vanfleteren, have or have meant something to Belgium and the Netherlands in any area: sports, art, politics, and more.

The portraits are sometimes melancholic, sometimes disarming, always captivating.
