"The impression of the image upon the viewer is the most important element for me, whether sensuous or erotic, it doesn't matter, the image is intended to capture the viewer. Therefore it's not much of a difference to me. I blend a variety of techniques because the original photograph itself doesn't offer enough possibilities." Stefan Gesell"
Text in English & German. About Stefan Gesell: "With a background and training in illustration and graffiti art, I think it would be fair to say that Stefan considers himself more as an illustrator than a photographer, although he obviously can make really stunning photographs. He creates his photographs digitally and then manipulates them to taste, composing other elements into them as needed to achieve the look hes after. Stefans work is flat-out sexy, hard-edged, high tech and very contemporary. Much of his work has a sci-fi flavour to it. I was immediately drawn to Stefans use of colour and his composition. The colour is sumptuously rich -- Rembrandt colour. The design and composition -- immaculate. Meticulous visual design.
