MARIA SCHELERLIES: I’m Maria Scherlies, a 19-year old girl from Berlin, Germany. When did you first begin taking photos? How has your work changed since then? I started taking photos at the age of 14. I took a lot of self-portraits for fun. But even then I was really interested in the editing of my photos. I experimented a lot. After I did an industrial placement at a photographer’s studio, I decided to buy me a DSLR. I took photos of everything at any time. Then I specialised in nature photography but I got bored of it and so I started with portrait photography a year ago. My work has improved but I still get better with every shooting.
How would you define the word silence? In this loud and crowded world, I think, silence is really precious. Silence is when you can get lost in your daydreams and thoughts without any interruption of others.
