My name is Stefanie Montenegro, and I'm an American living in Brussels, Belgium, at the political heart of the European Union. I love taking photographs. I never cease to be amazed at the seemingly magical ability to capture a person, place, animal or object in a certain light and from a certain angle, in such a way as to reveal and share a secret message with those who care to see. There is so much astounding beauty all around us, in both the obvious locations and in the simplest of mundane items that we might otherwise overlook.
The journey continues. Every day and with every photo I learn something new. Sometimes the photographs I share are pure and unedited. Other times, I am inspired to manipulate the images or create poetic compositions. I consider my photography to be an evolving art, a means of conveying thoughts and feelings that are beyond words.
