Stephanie Slama’s photographic style is originally inspired by all the wild psychedelic art openings she attended when young with her father, board member for the Society of Illustrators in Los Angeles. Trips to Europe further cultivated her tastes and fantasies until somehow it all got mixed together and out came an amusing vision which can be described as “glamorous drama” or “a fairytale with an edge”.

The light construction in Stephanie’s work has been compared to that of the studio Harcourt. She is fascinated by the great cinema director of photography Henri Alekan and his use of light and shadow to enhance the three dimensional quality of an image. By using natural light or HMI lamps, and further enhancing the contrast and depth of her photos digitally by applying painting techniques learned in art school, she creates an emotional atmosphere that pulls the viewer into the picture. Her subjects are portrayed as sexy, intense, and slightly dominating. When decor is used in studios or locations scouted – whether it be rough baroque, gothic, retro modern - it is always an extension of the person being photographed.

Stephanie has worked with top hair and makeup artists such as Thibault Fabre, has done production for Vanity Fair / Vogue fashion and celebrities photographer Mario Testino, and has photographed for such clients as Miramax, L’Oréal, Numero, Spivak Entertainment, Paris Capitale, Le Figaro, Chloé, Alfred Dunhill, Strictly Rhythm records, and many others.
