Hi, My name is Stefan,

I am a passionate photographer who wants more out of photography than the pictures.

I want photography to be the means through which:

* I get a better glimpse into the world through
* I can better understand the philosophy of God
* I can reach into people’s lives and make a positive difference

Through photography I also get to enjoy the fellowship of others who are passionate about the greatness of this art, many of which are here with me in this "little" (HAHA more like HUGE) place that we call home, deviantART.

So hereby I’d like to say hello to you, whoever you are, and to thank you for taking the time to look through this page with some of my artwork. I hope you enjoy it and if you like to contact me here’s my

email address: stefan.chirila@gmail.com

The History behind Stefan:
May 14, 1984 Stefan is born! - City of Timisoara, Romania

I remember when I was about 11 or so, I convinced my grandmother to purchase a Kodak Cameo flash, 35mm camera for me. I shot a few rolls of film with it of friends of mine in the neighbourhood until my parents VERY clearly expressed how the developing of pictures is expensive ...or at least more expensive than they are willing to afford. So this is where my photographic career ended for then.

In 2000 I moved with my family to Canada.

In 2004 I joined deviantART! I posted artwork of various types, some shot with the still picture mode on my family's handy-video-cam. Later in the year, I received a digital camera, I believe for my birthday. A Toshiba 1megapixel camera, point and shoot. That lasted me about a year. Then next year I got a Konica/Minolta 4Megapixel point and shoot with a lovely Zeiss lens on it. Goodness, if that little brat shot RAW i'd still be using it today haha. I shot countless pictures of the trails in the area using that camera. I love nature and the rich colours and contrast on that little camera fed my passion.

In 2006, in summer, I purchased a Canon Digital Rebel XT EOS 350D. Shortly followed by a Nikon D200 in winter of 2007. My photography "progressed" if one can call it that. Now as much in quality as in quantity and diversity. In summer 2007 I decided to be a good friend and let Alyssa, :iconcanuckgurl22: whom I LOVE very VERY much and now I get to call her my darling girlfriend :heart:, use my Rebel XT, since she had no dSLR at that time. I believe it helped her boost her confidence in what she can really achieve with a camera, and finally put into action all the potential that I always knew was there =P And if I had to do it again a hundred times, then a hundred times over I would, showing love to a fellow deviant (or human being in general) brings joys impossible to match by any act done for the self. Try it! =D

Within the period 2007-2009 I have been inspired and taught by her various little details and techniques which opened my eyes to new possibilities of editing and photographic concepts that I am very thankful for and which enriched my photography and made me the photographer that I am today.

Summer is HERE!

Hey there everyone. So Summer is here and I will "try" to get my butt out the door and do some nature shooting soon. I've been majorly lazy and havent done the things I should have. I've done some shooting here and there, you can always see my most up-to-date stuff on my BLOG: HttP: stefansPHOTO[dot] BLOGSPOT[dot] com. since thats where I post both artsy shoots as well as commercial stuff.


In the past days I did a few portrait sessions that I'm quite proud of. I finally got to the point where I don't hate my portrait editing haha and I don't feel too bad getting paid by people. I'll show you some.





The two above are from a festival at Victoria Park, Kitchener
