Steffi alias blacksally is a photo artist who is currently based in Würzburg/Germany. She specializes in dark fine art and conceptual, "storytelling" portraits.She has been familiar with photography since 2009 and began to grapple with technology and creative image design at an early age. As her passion for photography continued to develop, she fell in love with conceptual, artistic photography, especially at the people photography section. Later she began creating surrealistic, dark portraits of herself, among others, which are now her preferred genre and a trademark of her work.
"As an autodidactic artist, I have drawn my knowledge and inspiration mainly from social media and numerous seminars, workshops and events that I attend to further educate myself, develop and realize myself. My 3-year training as a media designer helped that I was able to master the basics of design right from the start. Gradually I developed my own, darker style that should be more than just a nice eye-catcher. " - blacksally
