You have an impressive folder

Your portfolio is very valuable to me. Many interesting concepts here :) Keep it up!

Stefan, it's 3.30 am and i've just browsed your folder, it's too good for just a glance but will be back to pamper my eye's again.

Hello Stefan... I'm definitively a fan! I just discovered some of the most expressive portraits I've ever seen... Congratulations ! Patrick

Your work is extraordinary.

Beautiful...

A lesson in quality over quantity. Instead of "Smila's Sense of Snow" it should be "Stefan's Sense of Style". Truly marvelous portraits, will motivate me in 2004. Thank you from Milwaukee!!!

No "smiley" faces in your portraits, but they are very strong and original images. I've enjoyed looking at your work.

Hi Stefan, I think your portfolio is really impressive! Just curious do you shot in avaiable light? Ciao Andrea -- www.aquadro.net

Your portfolio is amazing. I just love it. Congrats.!

Yes, only day light, nothing more, allways until now... thank you very much, also for your comment on my page, I went to your also very good work,,,, best regards Stefan

thanks Stefan for the answer ;-)

Ciao Andrea

Amazing,powerful,portraits , Stefan!

Stefan, you are extremely talented and a huge inspiration on me. Thanks for sharing.

I admire inmensely your photos. I would have preferred to have enough time to comment every one of them. You are a source of inspiration to me an I only wish I were capable of doing half of what you achieve

Someday I hope to take portraits like yours! Awesome serious stuff!

Show more,I like your style

It is so inspiring and boasting to have a creative profesional round here!, thanks !

Nice body of work, thanks for sharing.

Hey Stefan, I end up here today and realized that I've been in your portfolio when it had 3 o4 pics. Congratulations every one is better than the one before.

Outstanding and concentrated style. I also find people an endless fascination.

Louis

Great portraits

Great stuff! I love the way you compose in the square format.

Stefan, thanks for stopping by my portrait presentation 'family as individuals'. Your work is absolutely stunning, which you probably already know. The Morocco folder is interesting because each photo is very powerful, but viewed as a group in the folder context it is almost overwhelmingly busy. It almost makes it difficult to look at each one individually. 'Peace of mind' is my favorite, an incredible collection of 4 photos, and the 'single photos' folder is a close second. Great work, thanks for sharing.

Hi Stefan Rohner. They are all very impresive images( i hope im using the right word), but one in particular.I know im gona keep it in my mind for a while now. Thanks. Renata Paskal.

Ph.graphers like you make PN an interesting site. Thank You, floris.

@Troy Hamon, thank you, normaly when I look at peoples folders I look one by one....:))

best regards to verybody... Stefan

You KNOW how to take photos of people...compliments...

GREAT WORK!

There is nothing to add just by saying you are one of the photographers that will be talked about in the future.

your work is amazing

Amazing Stefan. You really know how to photographe "people". I dont know how you do it, but its working perfectly!

Marvelous portofolio, I´ve rarely sean such nice portraits. I wish I could make some day such a great portrait. Can you give me some tipps please ?

you are the teacher to learn from.

-a student of yours

Stefan, very very deep impresions, your portraits! Your are de Guide here! Plenty of feelings and Life! Congratulations and Regards!....

I like your photo's they are very impressive. Maybe a stupid question, but how do you get those people to pose for you? (see marrocco). Do you ask them?

I love your work ! Bravo, it is rare to see such a coherent and high quality potfolio...

I've browsed your folder a few times already, and I've only been here a few days. I'm a fan of B&W shots to begin with, and your portfolio just makes my liking for it more solid. Terrific work, keep it up.

magnificent work... can't say more at the moment

Never saw such a collection

It's as if you have caught a moment of their lives. Congratulations!

You have a " special touch" that we can never learn from books. You photograph a feeling or a moment. very good work.

You have a beautiful portfolio! Congratulations

Stefan, Lots of folks here have used terms such as "beautiful" and "stunning" to describe your portfolio. Though these are appropriate, I would also use some others; "real," "honest," "gritty," "unfiltered," and "direct." I love your stuff, and look forward to seeing more!

By far the best portrait work I have seen on this or any other site. Strong, straightforward images that convey the best photography has to offer. Please add more!

When I saw your photos, I did understand, that I?m gonna be your truly Fan!!! I dont now in english those words, I wanna say.... DAMNGOOD!!!!!

Maris

Creative and artistic works,I really enjoyed them.

Great work! I learn a lot from looking at your photo's. thanks for sharing them on photo.net.

When I look at your work I see real people. Excellent.

Genial!!!!!!

To you one more one less compliment won't make much of a difference, but futile as it may be I want to congratulate you.

As said by Tim Holte your work inspires me to try even harder, but at the same time reminds me of how difficult it is "to make them really good." Greetings and congratulations again.

It is hard to be the last in an impressive list of people who have already said everything. But I ment to be here, among them, even if I just have to repeat someone else's comment. Well, I choose Ektor's description for your entire portfolio and for every single picture in it.

Eres un maestro.....

Some people have got "it" and you are certainly one of them. This is such a super portfolio. One of the best on photo.net

This is the best portfolio I've seen on photo.net. Wow! I love portraiture and I love b&w, and you've brought them both together magnificently. Truely inspiring. Congratulations! Pls continue to share your work and comments with us all.

You're a master, no doubt. I deeply admire your work. Most of all, I'm incredibly touched by the human meaning of your images. Friendship, kindness, sadness, humour, mystery. I don't know what is the most admirable: to have that in your eyes and in your heart, or to capture it so well. Thousand thanks. Philippe

i am awe struck with your work,,,thanks for sharing.

great portfolio

I really enjoy you photos and style. Just add me to the list (seems like a long one) of admirers of your photography.

I have been watching your portfolio all afternoon; it has been a very rewarding experience, but very demanding as well. It has been very intense; therefore tiring (I say this in a complementary way). I won't say anything about the technical side because I can't say anything meaningful that you don't know. As for the artistic meaning of it there is a lot to say. In the first place you have a definite style, your photos have a recognizable seal; perhaps you may find influences from other photographers, but assimilated in a way that makes that yours are clearly yours. What impresses me it is that the style is appropriated to the message, idea, concept or whatever you want to convey. It is true that you have shown here different subjects, from a Morocco wedding to a tortured world of fantasy, but all of them show an undercurrent of deep emotions full of pathos. I don't know if you would accept it, but even those photos called peace of mind are showing a kind of tension that is more evident in your other series. I see too that although your photos show a material world, where textures, expressions, surfaces, muscles etc. are present always refer to something hidden, disquieting , sometimes even menacing. The toning of your photos emphasizes this quality. Perhaps I am wrong, but it seems to me that you are not a simple spectator while doing your images, on the contrary I see you very engaged, and I suppose, at the same time trying to exorcise, or neutralize some underlying ghosts. I would like to comment some of them, but I am truly tired now and I am in a hurry. I write this comment as it is, incomplete, because I don't know when I will have the occasion to do it properly and is better a little than nothing. A question: Do you allways carry the Hasselblad with you?

Excelent work!!! i wanted to see more pictures with the hasselblad and i end up looking at all the pictures... great job!

Excellent portfolio. Felicitations, cest vraiment tres beau

This portfolio is one of the best on photo.net! Your photos are just great!

you work is outstanding,,i admire potrature,and yours is one of the best i have ever seen,,thanks

Dear my friend you are perfect photographers.You have super portfolio.Cong...

Wonderful!

Hi,

really a great portfolio. Vast, complex even if centered on portraiture, technically it is really close to perfection. I have always loved bw but i am amazed how you are able to manage the pure b/w, no evident or repetitive tones (like mines just as an example) to enhance the images - they are good as they are; razor sharp pictures, with more that one meaning and everyone need to be looked carefully to understand how much tecnique and composition is hidden within.

As someone stated before looking through your portfolio is an intense and fatiguing experience and takes time and willingness to stop by and try to understand

giuseppe

I can't tell you how glad I am that your portfolio was "featured". You have captured much more than an images here! I have given myself the task of shooting more photos of people that go beyond a representation of their likeness. It's new for me and a daunting challenge. Viewing your portfolio has truly inspired me! I'll be checking back regulary to study your compositions and techniques.

Stefan, I love your entire portfolio. You have been rewarded by being featured, but it only tells a small part of the story. Such emotion! Thank you for sharing this and for the little push that I needed to learn and study more.

truly knocked out by your wonderful portfolio, you take pictures the way i would love to. thanks for sharing.....David

After looking at your portfolio it won't be easy to give good originality rating to portraits! It's amazing how many portraits you've done without ever repeating yourself.

Excellent photography, Stefan. Not many smiles, but many, many powerful photographs.

I`m slowly realising that portraits are the ultimate photography and yours are as good as i`ve ever seen,W

Stunning. Powerful. Congratulations! Alberto

I think it is about time that your work is acknowledged by the curators here. Some truly remarkable work that illuminates and inspires me. Thank you!!!!

thank you to the people who chose my work as "featured portfolio".

thank you to all of you for your words!

regards Stefan

Congratulations Stefan! You do amazing work. As you know, I am a big fan :)) Thank you for teaching me so many things about photography. As you win more and more awards and recognition, I am not surprised, only thinking, it's due. Best regards!

A fabulous, amazing, inspiring body of work. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Thank you. Your photography is an inspiration. Regards.

EXCELLENT........

You've said about life so much!

Oh man... I haven't seen such good photos in a long time. Very powerful, very emotive, very profound. I'd buy prints for my walls but I think they'd be worth more than what I can afford!

What can I say... I like your work and above it your sensivity...

Jacques

A featured portfolio, so well deserved from a long time!

Un placer para la vista ver cualquiera de tus retratos Stefan...

Hi Stefan,

Glad to see you as featured artist here and I'm very happy to see so many of your images at one place. Excellent, warm, human, strong work Stefan !!!! I should say less is more. Most are so simple, so striking and full of expression and behind that expression stays a portion of mysterie that makes the portraits even stronger. Absolutely classy work Stefan, my hat off!

Warm regards,

Dirk

PS: may I add a link to your portfolio in the links page on www.2point8.be ?

I am stunned with the originality of your portfolio. Great creativity, humanity and sensivity. You ve got my Respect.

Your ability to capture moods through light and shadows is truly impressive.Great work. Alan Klaw

Stephan, thank you for sharing your beautiful work with us. It is very inspirational. What a huge variety of approaches to photographing people in your individual photos portfolio - there are no tricks, all approaches are different. The character flowing through all is simplicity and light, and straightforward technique. I was sure that a few were the result of some tricky manipulation, but no, closer look showed them all to be real. Comparing the black-and-white images to the few in color, it is clear that black-and-white sees the light. Long live B&W.

Bravo, Stefan. These are the most human portraits I've seen on photo.net and most anywhere. Fine, fine portraits. In all honesty, I looked over these pictures and thought, I hope I can have the courage to shoot pictures like this someday.

A+

I think your portfolio is great! Every single one clearly shows an understanding of the person behind the face.

Inspiring! Thanks for sharing!

for sharing your portfolio. I just spent quite some time looking through your photographs, and I find them all stunning. Great portrets, absolutely wonderful.

Now that I have looked at amny of these photographs I think I know what draws me into the. It's simply the humanity that is in them. Somehow in your photos the life of your subjects becomes just transparent to draw me in and just opaque enough to leave me wondering and imagining. I'm left remembering what is intriguing and worthwhile about getting to know people.

I loved this folder, its fool of emotions, life and feelings. Very good technics too

Special eye that looks at humanity !! Pnina

There is so much solitude in these portraits!

This is an stunning portfolio, just phenomenal work.

You have an enviable gift for turning private moments into still lifes. Yours is one of my favorite portfolios on photo.net.

Definitely too much work to comment with a few words. I have seen here a lot of nice pictures and interesting points of view. I need more time (and a faster connection). Congratulations! If I had to suggest anything to think about, is... your subjects' look. It appears to me that - sometimes - you are not freezing them, but hopying they don't get fed up of posing. This steals some value from your work. Please consider these few words like a first, simpathetic, comment. I like your work and will spend some time on it in the future.

VERY strong photography. Love the use of the square!

Congrats.

You are certainly someone we can all learn from. I may just have found you but better late than never!

Thanks for being here!

absolutely wonderful!!!

An astonishingly sophisticated body of work, each image is a world unto itself and yet the whole fits together beautifully to express a clear vision by the artist. A little depressing at times, though not always so, but a clear representation of a part of life that we cannot and should not ignore.

I've always been a big fan of your work. I love the way you see things.

...I'm among your more raving fans!!

HI! Stefan,

this is one of the best portrait protfolios I've seen. Its interesting that no one seems to be smiling in the pictures, do u scare them or make them really mad before u shoot? :) jest kidding

love it!!

.. regards Stefan

Thank you, Stefan! The people in your images are so entirely human.

your portfolio is full of masterworks...I especially like the "imaginary world's (prints on paper)" folder...I would like to ask you to try to write the main story of this group of pics...maybe you could put it to each picture as part of presentation...looks amazing...wow

A great body of work, especially enjoyed 'Vero', 'Inocencia 2', 'Julia', 'Peace of mind 2' & 'Just do it'. Really, a great viewing experience. Won't be my last visit. Cheers

mysterious ways of light...

Absolutely one of the best portrait portfolios on photo.net. I'm glad this is the featured portfolio for this month otherwise I might have missed it. Great job. Will be back for sure!

Stefan, congratulations on the very deserved honor of being selected as a featured portfolio. I've been admiring your work for a long time. There is a mood that you manage to strike in your portraits that is unmatched by anyone and something totally unique. It doesn't rely on gimicks but manages to achieve excellence by relying on composition, timing and good technique. Your portraits of the girl on the bus and in the window of the coffee shop are master pieces. If I ever get rich I'd get some print to decorate my office. Good luck in your future career.

Looking at those pictures in wich the subject is looking so sinceresly to the camera... how did you manage to get those images like those in Morocco in wich people is supposed not to be proffesional models?

Please please... there must be a secret! Do you aproach to the subject and just say hello may I take a picture?

Your work is so inspirational!

thanks for all these words.....

Javier, once I wrote these words to a similar question:

"you can take street portraits, in bars, in parks, everywhere, but this needs time, it's not possible to walk inside a bar and lift up the camera! :) sometimes it is, but then you have to be quick. and you have to feel the mood at this moment, the mood in the ambient, how people look at you.. ect... if you see an interesting face you should talk to this "face", it is a human body and soul........................... then when you have some relation to this human soul, then one day you can take out the camera .....maybe :)..... bring them honour and respect! it is always very interesting meeting new human souls :) not only to photograph them! new relations, new friends....."

and Javier, in morocco it is still more difficult, it needs time ...time .... and time..... (to me)

even here in my place: Spain, I spend long long time with my models before I photograph them. they have to have a good feeling, they have to feel sure, they have to feel proud... the photographer can do a lot to support these feelings...

best regards Stefan

Hi, I love the work you have shown us here. I have seen many faces and places, but now when I am here in my isolated Irish farm house, those faces and places, and the ones you have shown us, come back like a flood to a desert. I believe in your philosophy of talking to people before snapping, it makes the photo a fairer exchange. If only others would give back to the world what they take. Seriously, a very fine body of work. Thanks, Ben.

wow. im so inspired.

Simply beautiful. so much life in every picture.

Congratulation on your great portfolio. The black and white is very appealing to me. Great job. Great sens of seeing people. Halina

your photos are marvellous

you have a really stunning portfolio!!!

Dear Stefan, I hope that professionals like you share more of their work with us...Did you use for the non-studio shootings flash ? Filters ? Keep on shooting and thx. for this amazing portfolio.

Patrick, here I wrote some things

http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00BAq7

I never use flash, I never uses filters.

any question please email me.

best regards Stefan

wow! youve got some really impressive work. so many great photographs. good work!

Amazing.

Bravo!!! Best regards

You live in your photos because one can't get much better than this in portrait art. This is .Thanks to inspire to me

first of all i want to thank you for taking the time to upload this beautiful body of work for us to see. i've been commenting on your photography for months and i find it amazingly cool. in this times of digital-everything is so refreshing to see some well developed film and nicely printed silver prints, beautifully scanned. the emotion you capture and the compositions are magical. keep it up.

Hi Stefan so good to see them all together. I guess you know by now what I think and what I always thought about your splendid, sensible, deep work. Un abrazo, Marí¬©a

I am often guest in your portfolio, Stefan, enjoying your true photography, looking into reality through your eye. The style, you developed, is unique and recognizable, every your portrait has a character and long story behind.
Always enjoy my visits!
Thank you and good luck,
Galina

Hi Stefan, I'm definetely speechless in front of your portfolio. it's really a pleasure to see all these beautiful pictures. many congrats for your art.

Magnificient work.

I don't agree with Pablo Picasso with he said "I have discovered photography. Now I can kill myself. I have nothing else to learn" because since I discover photography I have being living in a constant learning process and looking at your work just encourage me to run the extra mile and to learn more.

I like it when you refer to your subjects as human souls, it is exactly what I'm trying to apply in my photography sessions but sometimes people don't get it they just want me to take the picture, and I did not have the corauge to say no, I will not take it.

What is photography for you? Why do you shoot? What advice can you tell to someone who is trying to find his own style. Congratulations and keep shooting.

BTW, I have a D100, and I alwas shoot with a AF MicroNikkor 60mm 2.8, humbly imvite you to see my work, comments appreicated.

Byron Ortiz

Your works are a pleasure for my eyes. You are definitely a Master

Very interesting.

Fantastic collection of images. Inspiring.

Very great portfolio. I'm not an expert of portraits, but yours are very interesting. Bravo!

Stefan!! you are a great photographer!!!Very compliments

I love the way you look at things and humans...One of the best portfolios I have ever seen in PN.

I know that I already put a comment here, but I can't help it, each time I look at your portfolio, it's absolutely stunning!!!

I just spent hours looking at you work. I hope my boss doesn't find out. :) wonderwul stuff

The percentage of excellent portraits here is astounding, i love the contrast you nailed it.

Stefan, this is a phenomenal portfolio. Not only is it technically excelent but it has that indefineably special X factor. Real talent, really wonderful to discover these. Cheers, Miles.

This is an awesome portfolio, Stefan. Not one snapshot. Every work of art/photo tells its own story. Its an inspiration to me to try harder, much much harder.

I have read your comments on how you spend time, lots of time with each person and shoot with available light. A true dedication to your craft.

There are a few photos in there that would look good with Wagner's Valkyries as the background music mood.

Wonderfull work!

As you see the longest part of your photo page here is the wonderful comments and critiques you have, and i cant say anythig you already have heard. Your portfolio is truley inspiring. esp to someone just starting out. Very beutiful. I hope some day, i can produce portraits as wonderful as yours are. thank you.

You're on the top of the best portfolio I've ever seen... I've just past a GREAT moment through it. A big "THANK YOU" from my eyes.

Stefan , your portofolio is probably the best one ( in my opinion ) in photo.net...thank you for sharing it...

Just wanted to thank you for doing such great job and inspiring many of others. It's rare when i can see such captures of soul reflections on photos. Best regards and wishes to even better !!!

One of the best on this site, as well as anywhere...your work is truly inspiring.

Excellent portfolio.

I've just seen your work for the first time. I am very impressed, it's excellent.

Very best wishes. Peter

I come back from time to time, your work's amazing, very well contrasted images. Compo and thematic is quite interesting. Keep them coming. Regards.

Vraiment excellent!!!

Thank you Stefan. I love your portfolio, specially your portraits.

Excellent work, the kind I can only look in awe... Congratulations!

You photograph souls. Great

An awe-inspiring portofolio. Your pictures all tell a story. Thank you very much for sharing it with us.

After looking through your folio, I imagine you have so many thousand photographs not shown that offer the powerful emotions brought out by these ones.

Your eyes see the real world.

I am suitably impressed.

Looks like you have admirers all over the world, Stefan, and deservedly so. This is one of the few truly fine art photography portfolios on photo.net.

By far one of my favorite photographers on photo.net. An amazing portfolio which glows with classical beauty. 10/10

out of words...very veryyyy good. B R A V O. I will be back soon.regards.cris

Incredible... really incredible. I would buy some of you photos if I'd have money.

Excellent portfolio! I really like your India work and I like the fact that you are still a film user and a savvy one at that~! AP

You are really good... Very nice of all them.

This is grand work for sure and I love it. I know that I shall keep coming back to look. I would so like to be able to capture people the way you do. I am just an amateur with some big dreams of producing this quality of work in order to share my life experience and to pass it down to my family. You are an inspiration.

Stefan, having only just gotten around to looking at your full portfolio I can honestly say that I don't know where to begin. Every photo ecclipses anything I have done so far, you are truly skilled, I cannot decide where to leave comments so I'm leaving one here.

I will most definitely be returning, again, and again, and again...

Your work is very beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

Nice colection,s, Good work

Images that reveal the human condition, great portraits and documentaries. Enjoyed looking.

I like your way to see the world. Very very good indeed. Excellent.

Wow. I can't breath! This is what I want! Great!

Thanks for sharing. This is an inspirational portfolio.

I think your portfolio is one of the best I've seen, at least I enjoy it a lot. The little girl with the curls is absolutely one of my favorites!

I liked your photos.

Excellent photography

Fantastic portfolio!

excellent gallery

A portfolio of portraits of natural life. Excellent work.

amazing pictures stefan,you have truly captured the essence of every country you have been to and every person you have clicked.very inspiring work.

You are absolutely great photographer..Your photos are amazing..No words!!!

when I become...

I have yet to find a photo in your portfolio that I don't love, fantastic work. Truly inspirational.

Stefan, you have a great portfolio of work here, I really like the B&W photos from India, but they are all excellent.

Perfecto.
Cada foto que anades me gusta mas que la anterior. Me gusta especialmente tu carpeta de la India
Simplememte GENIAL!

You seem to have found the softer underbelly of the world. You have a warm, softer approach to what could be a very hard-edged interpretation of your subjects. Instead, they seem to be that much more intriguing and rounded (they haven't been exploited by your camera) and they seem to be comfortable being themselves with you which is the mark of a truly instinctive portraitist. I feel like you might be a Mary Ellen Mark in the making or even possibly a Diane Arbus visionary? I feel like the best is yet to come.

Passion, power and empathy. All one could ask ask of his work. Among the very best. Bravo!

Excellent work!

Stefan, you are a rare and inciteful photographer. I think that you have achieved mastery at what you do. I am blown away! High Regards to you and your work! Todd

oh my god. what a portfolio. well looks like i got a new teacher i can learn from. really nice way of capturing peoples emotions. great portraits. love the light used in your pictures. i really admire your work !

Im just way too impressed. Amazing portraits!

A little dark and sarcastic. Sorry but no joy of life here for me.

You are extremely talented! Your pictures are fascinating. I appreciate (should I say: I love) the tone, the character... EVERYTHING!!! I wish I could have done such a great job. Please, stay with us on this website and continue to share your pictures as well as your inspiration. They are gifts for all of our community. (I apologize for my English writing; I'm French.)

Fantastic in every way. Cartier-Bresson would be proud to show this work

Amazing work!

Great portfolio..! I will be in munich next weekend, can we meet? :) un beso, Carina

Hello Carina, great! why not? you must be a very fresh person ;) see you Friday.

http://www.galerie-lichtpunkt.de/index.php?article_id=20

Impressive job. I like your style.

For the wonderful time in Munich and congratulations , your prints are world class ..! ;)

You have by far the best images, you are a master. Every single image image has a feeling.

your style is very distinctive and it definately stands out from the rest of the documentaries on this site.

I adore your work ... You're my inspiration ... Thanks a lot :)

In some way or another I keep coming back to your portfolio; your pictures pop up everywhere! Thanks for those beautiful images.

Really nice portfolio.

Dear Stefan,

you find them next door:

http://www.ball-saal.com

or on my website, thank you, best regards Stefan

I am sad to see you go from here. Although I am more active towards your work with browsing ball-saal and your personal website. What I am sad about is that there is more interaction between you through this site, and you're leaving it. I will miss being able to read your comments on technique, on life. I am not a great photographer but there is always the dream, and the dream of being in the presence of one, of having any kind of contact (be it small, or big)with an artist of your high caliber. But I understand your reasons for leaving, and respect them. Best wishes to you in life.

Cheers, Leilani

Thanks for your response Good you attacked the censoring on this page. I totally agree with you, freedom of speech and writing! It seemed to have worked, you are back again.

Rudolf

great portofolio! congratulations

This portfolio is the best. great work.

I just had to come back to see your work again ... love your shots !!

one of the best portofolio a ever se, so powerful, regards

wellcome back!!!

Stefan, it is a honor to view your work and I Wish You The Very Best Always! Folks take the time to view Stefan's personal website!

Take Care, Pete

Hm, good old-fashioned stile always works! There are still people who can catch real emotions where ever they go.

... tremendous humanity in this work, steadfastness, craft, faith. There must be more to your portfolio than these few shots. I am so moved. Ah, just found the other site. I'll be back later, have to go look at the other images.

perfect work! congrats!

regards! Alfredo

great! what else can i say? the ones before me said it all.

Impressive portfolio great photos

How are you Stefan, I pray well and that everything is going well for you and your kin. It saddend me greatly with that bad buisness and its a real crime that some of the greatest shots to dwell and tell their stories here have been pulled down over pussy politics. You know why I like your work its b'cos you communicate with the common man on an equal level and this is why you are able to see eye to eye, this and because you care enough to go that extra mile to tell it right for those your speaking for. There is a lot of hate in this world that sometimes its hard to see the good but I have always known where your heart is, you are a good man & great artist.

Hugh

thank you verybody!

Hugh, I don?t care anymore, you see, I am uploading again, I am well and happy...

and to the politics on this site:

it is not possible to EDIT others people minds, even if the administration thinks that it is possible, it is NOT!

best regards Stefan

Hallo Stefan,

I saw, you took a look on my portfolio - Granny folder. Well, there is only one little part of the exhibition "Granny", which I had in Ljubljana, Slovenia. I saw, that there on Anarchy Images, you have a colleague from Slovenia - Manca Juvan.

I took a look on your photos again and there really in an good old faction style going thru all of them, some are also a little "Arbus" touch,...

Well, I'm looking forward for your new photos.

Best regards, Samo Rovan

Well, it looks like eveything has been already said. Congratulations. My best regards.

Outstanding work Stefan.

I;ve just been viewing you homepage which contains oustanding peices also. My favourite being the Matanza series. Is this a family that you know personally?

Again....great work!

Amazing portfolio...truely inspiring photos, i love the reality and humanity that you seem to capture so well....its a pleasure looking through your portfolio:)

Sensitinve, gritty, haunting....amazing work

Ha, I was really amused by your comments regarding the politics of pnet. Of course, I agree that too often mediocre pictures are rated 6/6 because the rater expects something in return. But, do you stop living because of that? Of course, not. The true artist stays true to himself and does not follow the latest fad. Your work, I'm sure you know, is a manifestation of your own personal vision. It is not unique to you, but your combination of this vision with a consciencious craftsmanship elevates your work above the pale. So, rating or no rating, a horse is a horse, and a mule a mule.

I reayl like how you see the world; simple, full of meaning and of course with an original idea. regards/mahdi

Your photos breathe intention, humanity, purpose and respect. You are right up next to Salgado and Avedon. Congratulations for having such a pure heart and a thirst for thruth.

you have really captured the emotions as they really are. you have a very good talent to capture frames which involves the viewer into the frame, which i have hardly experienced.........

i am a fan of your style of photography......simple yet powerful....congrats!!

Dear Rohner, I am shotting photos for 10 years. Approximately 5 years ago a friend of mine linked to your photos on your site and i was really impressed. From that time my point of view on photography totally changed. For 5 years when they ask me "Who is your favorite photographer?" I always give the name Stefan Rohner. I was very surprised when I saw you in this site. I can't choose the right words to describe my feelings but thanks for everything you have done for my photos and my photographic POV.

I Have no words..Just amazing photos...

Your images have helped me to become a better photographer that I would have ever dreamed.

Thank you for sharing them. To you and your family I wish the Merriest Christmas and the happies New Year 2008.

Best Regards, Marco Ruggiero.

Basically, I wish I can someday do what you do. Brilliant work.

All the best, Dave James
