INTERVIEW| STEFAN IMIELSKI
STEFAN
IMIELSKI
The Photographer Who Is Switching Between Simple, Glamorous
And High Fashion
by Dijana Zeravica
Stefan Imielski was born and raised in
Munich, Germany. After finishing high
school, he started his fashion career as
a model. Modeling remained a big part
of his life for more than 20 years. During
this time, he was able to establish a
network with distinguished, international
photographers. Working in the fashion
industry induced Imielski´s interest in
photography, so he finished the work in
front of the camera in 2011 and changed
his workplace to the work behind of it.
Imielski´s photography is characterized
by a mixture of fashion and nudity and
he knows how to switch between simple,
glamorous and high fashion photography.
This seems to be one of his factors of
success.
In the last four years of working as a
photographer, Imielski rapidly made
a name for himself and is now in great
demand. Working with well-known
fashion stylists and models reflects in
his photography and enables him to
be featured in famous international
magazines like Elle, Bazaar, Madame
Figaro and many others.
His latest feather in his cap was shooting
with Bar Refaeli for the GQ Germany and
creating an Elle cover with Ana Beatriz
Barros.
The life of a photographer calls for
flexibility and wanderlust, it’s a life on the
move, thus it is good that Stefan thinks: “I
like to be creative, meet new people and
travel to the nicest places in the world“.
Imielski is on a good way to become
a valuable and influential fashion and
portrait photographer of our time.
We are very pleased to have had the
opportunity to interview Stefan and get a
closer insight into his life and work.
„Photographers have a lot of power, I think.”
