Stella is one of the most creative and talented persons I am surrounded with. In general, she has a do-attitude: let's do it, let's be crazy. - As for photography, there is hardly anything she cannot do. Don't believe me? Well, you should. Here's why. - By looking at her stream, you will find wonderful portraits, either perfectly put on or impressively candid. - Her landscapes and city silhouettes could just as well be put in a calendar. - Plus, she is really into flowers - she took some of the most beautiful flower shots I have seen so far, and I can say that I have seen a hell lot. - Her way to deal with media, with everyday life, with the things around her is reflected in her photography. She can make a banana or a laptop damn special. - And I would never have thought that there are so many possibilities to picture a heart. While I consider her a real artistic person, unlike many artists, Stella has a really professional way of taking pictures, using light, perspective, focusing - and she kicks ass in postprocessing. Really. 80 % of what I know about Photoshop, she taught me. Her best shots consist of mostly one thing: detail. Be it a broken egg with a tired face, be it all kinds of fruit, be it fingers, a smile, pencils... she has what people call "the eye", a vivid visual conscience of the things around her, and a crazy mind putting stuff in places where it doesn't belong actually, but where it looks fabulous nonetheless. Summing it up, I would say that Stella is one of the few persons I would ever suggest to become a professional, because she is able to use both her creative energy and her technical ability in a freaking harmonic way, without neglecting either of them for the sake of the other.

Ich weiß noch, wie ich hier zum ersten Mal war. Alles schien so fremd und ungewohnt. Aber das kotzende Ei hat mich auf Stellas Seite geschleppt. Seitdem verfolge ich hier jedes Update und bin nicht selten schwer beigestert. (und dass, obwohl Stella beim WM-Finale war, hmm, eigentlich müsste ich total neidisch sein)... Ihre Bilder handeln oft von normalen Menschen, die in ihrem Alltag wunderbar mit natürlichen Farben und Lichtern in Szene gesetzt werden. Mit Licht und Schatten kann sie ohnehin sehr gut umgehen! Und wenn sie dann plötzlich ein kreativer Schwall überfällt kommen so schöne Ergebnisse wie die Stifthand, sämtliche Herzen oder großartig positionierte Lebensmittel heraus :-) Weiter so!!!
