Quote from the Masterfile newsletter “Open” (July 2008):

Based in Germany, photographer Elisabeth Cölfen has a passion for digital
imaging, creating contemporary images in a wide range of subjects. Her
focus is in still life, food and people. Elisabeth has an M.A. in
linguistics (German and English) and in computerlinguistics. She loves
the process of turning ordinary things into art.

I am a professional stock photographer in Duisburg, Germany. This is my blog where I post pictures from shootings, industry news and personal things. Stay tuned and leave your comments.
