"Talking To The Moon"


Stefanie Hauger studied Industrial Design, is an Interior Architect, writer, multi award-winning painter, retailer and serial entrepreneur. She spent her teens in the darkroom with her mother, who was a photographer, and she recently returned to photography herself, making this her primary focus from here on. Stefanie thinks of herself as a scene-setter. The interior architect and fine artist in her decide on aesthetic, purity of language and simplicity within an image. Paring down and elimination play a big part in deciding the ultimate composition, comfort is found in less. The photograph becomes like an interior space or a blank canvas, and the elements introduced into and onto these are carefully choreographed. Little is left to chance but mistakes are celebrated. Stefanie’s mantra, for several decades, has been: ‘To suggest is to create, to describe is to destroy’ Robert Doisneau. She firmly believes in this approach, leaving much to the imagination and endeavoring to make the viewer ask themselves intriguing questions about what they see before them.
