I don't know if I've ever come across a photographer with a body of work as amazing as Els. She has photo after photo of breathtaking images and it has been that way for years. She was one of the first photographers that really caught my attention when I joined flickr the first time around 2008 or so and she has gotten better and better with time. I admire her for her artistic abilities and for her strength. She also is witty and will make you laugh now and again. I'm inspired all the time by her work and can't wait to follow her into the future.

I have admired Els' work for sometime now. Her art is an expression of who she is, witty, interesting, honest, and not to mention a beautiful person (inside and out). I also admire her for not just posting some wonderful shots, but also for her ability to make me smile constantly with her notes and comments undernea… Read more

I have admired Els' work for sometime now. Her art is an expression of who she is, witty, interesting, honest, and not to mention a beautiful person (inside and out). I also admire her for not just posting some wonderful shots, but also for her ability to make me smile constantly with her notes and comments underneath her work. If you have just come across her stream, please look back through her entire portfolio. You will learn what taking a self portrait is all about. Thank you Els for your art and your friendship.

Els has a talent not everyone possesses. Aside from being ridiculously funny, she has a fantastic way of using light and props in her photos that i absolutely love! All her photos are one of a kind and incredible! Truthfully speaking, she's the one who inspired me to start my own 365 project and i don't know how i woul… Read more

Els has a talent not everyone possesses. Aside from being ridiculously funny, she has a fantastic way of using light and props in her photos that i absolutely love! All her photos are one of a kind and incredible! Truthfully speaking, she's the one who inspired me to start my own 365 project and i don't know how i would have felt about photography if it wasn't for her photo stream :)

I check Els' photostream every day because each of her photos is interesting and new and Beautiful (with a capital B). Whatever she chooses to "use" in her photos, whether its bowler hats, a wig, paint on her face, or nothing at all, she uses it well.

I check Els' photostream every day because each of her photos is interesting and new and Beautiful (with a capital B). Whatever she chooses to "use" in her photos, whether its bowler hats, a wig, paint on her face, or nothing at all, she uses it well. (For instance, I can't imagine how this photo could have been done better www.flickr.com/ph... Her use of the paint, the headscarf, her eyes, her hair, and her face in general is perfect, and i would not want to change a thing) The tones in Els' most recent outside photos blow me away because of how natural the sunsets look, and how warm the photos feel even though it's winter and there's snow on the ground. Also, the 2nd and 3rd ones in the comments on www.flickr.com/ph... are stunning because of her use of the paint under her eyes. So creative! Somehow Els always takes portraits to the next level. On a side note, her captions are perfect. I look at a lot of photostreams, and I've found that Els has the best captions by miles. Her stories and little bits in there are always interesting and usually make me chuckle. Anyways. Keep up the good work Els. I'll keep checking your photostream, and whoever reads this should also surf on over there every day. You won't be disappointed.

Els is a photographer that walks balanced between usually opposing aspects of photography: the technically-polished, mature world of a professional and the boundlessly creative and experimental world of an amateur.

Els is a photographer that walks balanced between usually opposing aspects of photography: the technically-polished, mature world of a professional and the boundlessly creative and experimental world of an amateur. Her stream sacrifices nothing in terms of quality or precision for the energy and vitality the permeates all her images. Her images are not only beautiful, they are fun! They are varied and colorful and interesting and compelling; viewing her photostream is like reading a novel you can’t put down. I can’t wait to see new images of her every day!

I always admire people that start off on a "Project 365", but often it shows after some time that they go low on inspiration, and series of pictures are posted that essentially are just variations on the same theme.

I always admire people that start off on a "Project 365", but often it shows after some time that they go low on inspiration, and series of pictures are posted that essentially are just variations on the same theme. I admire Els in that she seems to be able to keep up the inspiration, although she has allowed herself to take a break now and then. I like her free spirit she is showing in her work. And last but not least, some of the locations Els is using are familiar to me as she lives close to my hometown, Antwerp.
