Michaela is one of my favorite artists on flickr. She has an accomplished and unique graphical sensibility and amazing color knowledge. Nobody understand the repeating line or the sharp contrast the way Michaela does. When I see her work I think of the very best design magazine covers, and modern art displayed in stylish museums in the great cities of the world. My friend Michaela is an accomplished photographer and artist whose work stands up to anyone on flickr in terms of signature qualities, consistency and dedication to high quality. Thanks for showing me so much about making photographs, Michaela. I am in your debt. You rock!

In my view, based on 50 years worth of taking mediocre pictures, but viewing the work of the world's so-called greats, from Matthew Brady; Ansel Adams; Henri Cartier-Brisson; Robert Capa; Margaret Bourke-White; and Annie Liebowitz; I think I'm in a position to have an opinion on a true new talent arriving on the scene.… Read more

In my view, based on 50 years worth of taking mediocre pictures, but viewing the work of the world's so-called greats, from Matthew Brady; Ansel Adams; Henri Cartier-Brisson; Robert Capa; Margaret Bourke-White; and Annie Liebowitz; I think I'm in a position to have an opinion on a true new talent arriving on the scene. The works of this young woman are not the result of studying the intricacies of camera construction, the why's and wherefor's of depth of field; or what makes for a truly new talent. Pretty pictures which whether they have succeeded or not have always been my forte, but in all honesty are fairly plebian. Michaela is a new phenomenon. Born not made, as most geniuses of any artistic or literary genre are, one instantly recognizes a quantum difference in her work. It has only been in the latter years of a reasonably long life, after taking thousands and viewing millions of images that I have come to discern the difference between an extravagantly pleasing photo and the work of a greater magnitude of inherent genius. Life is timing. Place and luck have affected us all from the moment of birth. Given good fortune in these imponderables I believe Michaela has the innate magic to be one of the greats in the ever changing field of digital photography and image manipulation. This comment is based on a very short exposure to the young woman's work, but I believe it will stand the test of time, although I do not expect to be here to see that happen! Congratulations Michaela. In my humble view, a star is born !!!

Michaela, you surprise me with your wit, dare and awesome creativity. Anyone that can photograph espresso foam, champagne bubbles and a toast deserves attention; anyone that can do it well deserves true recognition. I have seen you rally around and cheer for others many times, and for that you have gone beyond my recog… Read more

Michaela, you surprise me with your wit, dare and awesome creativity. Anyone that can photograph espresso foam, champagne bubbles and a toast deserves attention; anyone that can do it well deserves true recognition. I have seen you rally around and cheer for others many times, and for that you have gone beyond my recognition and have earned my respect. Keep shooting for you are doing well, and to others I say: take a leap of faith and check this photostream thoroughly, you won't be disappointed! Julian

Michaela is the abstract master!!! I come to her stream both for incredible beauty but also to help me see the world in a whole new and different.

Michaela is the abstract master!!! I come to her stream both for incredible beauty but also to help me see the world in a whole new and different. She has the ability to find beauty in places where I would never ever consider to look (like the womens bathroom lol). Thank you for your mind, your skill and your captured beauty. Keep up the great work my friend.

Michaela: You are not only a charming party-maker, but a great photographer. Your colors and perspectives are in a wide range of subjects: from the minimum to the maximum, but every single one of them truly shows to us something important and not always evident, at least not in the surface. It is quite clear, at least … Read more

Michaela: You are not only a charming party-maker, but a great photographer. Your colors and perspectives are in a wide range of subjects: from the minimum to the maximum, but every single one of them truly shows to us something important and not always evident, at least not in the surface. It is quite clear, at least for me, that as you just said, you are always looking for beauty, (and you have a very well developed sixth sense for it), but in that search, I have the impression that you always found something more than just beauty: you find, for everyone´s joy, a very deep and direct connection beetwen your subjects and your own personality. And you give us all an absolutely gorgeous result!

Michaela's eye is simply one of the best eyes for composition I've ever seen. Her powerful minimalistic (or not so minimal) images will leave you in awe while browsing through her marvelous stream. Everyone has something to learn from her shots, I did...... and if we add to all this a wonderful personality, and an ever… Read more

Michaela's eye is simply one of the best eyes for composition I've ever seen. Her powerful minimalistic (or not so minimal) images will leave you in awe while browsing through her marvelous stream. Everyone has something to learn from her shots, I did...... and if we add to all this a wonderful personality, and an everyday smile, the only thing left to say is....A pleasure to meet you, Michaela, it's great to have a friend like you here!

Is there a cooler photographer on Flickr than michaelab311?

Is there a cooler photographer on Flickr than michaelab311? Her work has an aesthetic allure all of its own, created by: a vastly engaging range of subjects; an awareness of the mysterious in the ordinary; assured framing; great vision; a firm grasp of the minimalist ethic and so much more. In “Stirred chocolate milk,” michaelab311 presents us with an ordinary set of stairs transformed by her artistic vision into something delicious and almost edible! “Different shades of white” is another set of stairs which coolly consists of nothing more than a number of horizontal lines but in such an artistic and inspiring way. “women only...”, dedicated to another of my favourite photographers, Nightphotographer, is simply a pink wall with the word “woman” on it but the graphical awareness displayed is of a very high order. The “more or LESS” set in general is well worth a look but michaelab311’s stream offers us so much more. “The Sorceress,” for example, is a beautiful image of a tree presented as a huge, black, twisting, animated creature holding court in the forest. “lunchbreak shopping” is a clever use of transparent surfaces and pretty tulips which conveys the subject so well and so artistically. Her “Macros” set offers us a collection of work as good as any close-ups which make it to Explore every day. I could wax lyrical about so many of this photographer’s works as do her many regular visitors. In essence, her work is fascinating, assured, artistically accomplished and vastly inspiring.

Michaela keeps shooting out the most vibrant, defined, geometric, crisp, colourful, sharp, controlled and extraordinary takes on what would often be concieved as ordinary subjects, at an incredible pace. Her passion for blowing out our visual cortex with sheer simplicity and fresh shapes and transitions is evident by now. It is exciting to follow her progress. I have no idea how she makes time to respond and comment so widely. Without a doubt the top poster in my stream, and I believe in many others!

Jetzt wird es aber einmal Zeit, dass hier ein Testimonial steht - also: michaelsb311 macht grossartige Photos - eins ist schöner wie das andere. Sie hat ein grossartiges Auge für Kompositionen, Farben und Details und ich bedanke mich, dass sie uns daran teilhaben lässt! Menschlich gesehen ehrt sie ihre Beschiedenheit - photographisch gesehen gibt es dafür jedoch überhaupt keinen Grund! Weiter so!
