Stefanie is a multicultural artist, born and raised in Germany and currently based in Sweden.
Being born into a family of academics she discovered her artistic side at a very early age. After studying marketing and advertising she worked in several well known advertising agencies as creative director for international clients before she went into photography and never looked back.
Stefanie is an early adaptor of the new AI tools and integrates the technology seamlessly into her workflow, creating new ways for advertising agencies to create photography-like imagery that is almost indistinguishable from photography.
She takes her inspiration from her surroundings, from art, literature and poetry and her distinct, painterly light is one of her key features as artist.
As a multicultural persona and fluent in 4 languages, her long experience in the advertising world is a huge advantage in her daily work: Stefanie has the ability to think conceptual and has a deep understanding for her clients. She is aware of timings and how to handle clients professionally and always delivers high end results, no matter the circumstances.
When Stefanie is not working with images, she writes bestsellers. Order your copy here.
