I have the privilege to have met Stephan in person and it was an honor to be able to be out and about the city of Chicago photographing with one of my favorite flickr photographer. His charm, wit, and depth of intellect can be seen through his images and his comments and meeting him in person I can testify that he's as lovely of a person on the web as he is in reality. Thank you Stephan for being such an amazing friend and I'm glad that our paths have crossed. I look forward to be out shooting with you again in the city:) Sincerely, samantha

Tips to the beginner: If you want to improve your photography skill, one of the "shortcut" is really to look into every single shot of racingsquirrel. All the ordinary shot contain so many technique, composition art that you could appreciate. In the beginning, i nearly wanted to put some efforts to learn HDR when the flickr overwhelmed by this technique. But Stephan's photo really tell me the natural color tone, minimum processing photo is the real art to learn. Yah, i should had mentioned his BW shots are superb and unbeatable. With his influence, I am so much into BW now. When I grow up I want to be a Squirrel too! :-)

I met racingsquirrel on flickr few months ago and i have to say i feel truly honored. When i talk to my friends photographers, i usually say "go to see racingsquirrel page and learn something" (yep i never told you that)! After few month i definitely can say this man has magic eye, deep soul and very open mind. The way how he see the street all over the globe is more than amusing, every photo is full of details you can discuss for hours and most important you usually can feel how he felt as photographer while he was shooting. Amazing talent who tells always so amusing stories with his at 16mm (equiv) lense Ps: and yes, i adore how he treats his Flickr friends and how he make portraits of every person from Flickr he meets in person, it's so touching and one more confirmation about his spirit and beautiful soul! Respect, Milica

Stephan is one of the most impressive photographers I know here on Flickr. He knows how to use the light to enhance colors and details very well. His portraits of people are very powerful and expressive. His artistic ability is surprising, not only in his portraits, but also in his black and white shots and street scenes. I appreciate him not only as a photographer , but as a person. He always has kind words for me about my photostreams and he gives me good advice. Stephan thank you for sharing your stunning work with us. Rossella

His photos are contemporary documentation-photos to me ; he is telling stories with his photos,I discover symbolism very often. He shows his people in a very unique way including the typical surrounding. With his focus play he gives weight to his characters and shows us, what seems to be important to him.

His photos are contemporary documentation-photos to me ; he is telling stories with his photos,I discover symbolism very often. He shows his people in a very unique way including the typical surrounding. With his focus play he gives weight to his characters and shows us, what seems to be important to him. In the "light jungle of a metropolis" he is focusing the faces and eliminates anonymity . "racingsquirrel" is a dedicated comment-writer; sometimes I have the feeling, that he expresses exactly in his comments, what I wanted to show with my photos. I suppose, he is travelling a lot and his photo-sets are also a kind of photo-diaries; I appreciate those travel-impressions: never boring, always personal, individual and with his unique hallmarks....-better than any travel-guide!!!!. Thank you, Stephan!

Stephan's pictures are not only documenting places he has been to but also people he has met, giving anonymous flickr identities a real-live face ... and he does that with an amazing sense for details which he's also aware of in other people's photographs - so in his comments he's always trying to share his experience … Read more

Thank you, Stephan, ... and hope to see you in real live as well. Regards, Sly's.

It's well known that comedy is a very serious business. Stephan takes his role as Human Comedy recorder in the seriousness of professional photographers, attentive to his subjects while rigorously maintaining technical perfection. Stephan's comments are filled with humor, professional knowhow and kind wisdom which he modestly spreads around him. Thank you, Stephan, for teaching me so much about photography and friendship.

Well. I know he likes women who smoke, wear mascara, use glasses, eat a lot and especialli those who live in Iceland. He´s one of my favorite Flickers to visit and he is very active commenting on my pics who arent very spectacular if I may say so, for I live a very normal life unlike him.

He´s one of my favorite Flickers to visit and he is very active commenting on my pics who arent very spectacular if I may say so, for I live a very normal life unlike him. He´s always around and I love to follow him in my mind. A good humorist!
