Die Fotografie ist für mich mehr als ein Ausgleich zur beruflichen Bürotätigkeit.: sie ist ein großes Vergnügen.

Im Januar 1975 habe ich meine erste Spiegelreflexkamera gekauft, eine Rolleiflex SL 35 (ja, soo alt bin ich schon).

Seit 1977 fotografiere ich mit NIKON-Kameras.

Ich wurde insbesondere durch folgende Fotografen inspiriert:

August Sander
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Andreas Feininger
Ernst Haas
Bernd und Hilla Becher
Elliot Erwitt
viele Fotografen der Zeitschriften GEO, National Geografic und Mare

    ""Werner Schnell" photostream is the best place for creativity to play, minimalism to live.

    He is so unique to have a very clear iDea in every photo, and express it through a very simple way. For every close up of the captures, I am always surprised by his sensitive to all colours and details, which these things are common in our lives, but just we always miss them. So this is too inspirational for me to catch with every latest capture.

    He is also very kind and supportive in giving encouragement to me, I do learnt a lot from him@

    Thanks@"

    "Ich liebe Deine Arbeiten, alle, Werner.
    Deine "Rostarbeiten" jedoch, ganz besonders.
    Mit Deinem unglaublichen Gespür, für die ganz kleinen Details und die immer wieder überraschenden Rostvariationen hast Du mein "Photographen"herz im Sturm erobert.
    Danke für Deine außergewöhnlichen, unendlich guten Arbeiten."

    "You don't have to dig very deep into Werner's photostream to see that he's a master of composition, with an uncanny eye for colour, shape and form.

    Yet he's far more than a clever photographer - he's one of the most dedicated commenters on Flickr. It's a real pleasure to be his contact - he's one of the most generous and unselfish Flickr folks you'll meet."

    "Werner Schnell ist mein erster flickr-Kontakt gewesen und er ist mir weiterhin einer der liebsten. Ich mag seine Art, Details, Stukturen und Farben zu sehen und sie durch seine Fotografie in neue Zusammenhänge zu stellen. Durch ihn wurde ich inspiriert, das alte Rechteckformat zu verlassen und mehr meiner Bilder als 'Squares' zu bearbeiten. Unsere Sichtweisen ähneln sich in vielem und so erlebe ich manches Foto als Ausdruck einer gewissen Seelenverwandtschaft ... (war das jetzt zu dick aufgetragen? *grins*). Werners Bilder inspirieren mich, neues auszuprobieren und ich kann einiges von ihm lernen.

    Werner, ich bin auf viele weitere Bilder von Dir gespannt (und freue mich auch, wenn Du fleissig meine Aufnahmen - gerne auch mal kritisch - kommentierst)."

    "A new Flickr friend recently asked me who I thought were the best photographers on Flckr. I certainly don't know all of the photographers in this great, huge community, but I do have a LOT of contacts. A half dozen names came to mind. And certainly among the best is Werner. Every image is stunning. His contrast, color saturation, focus and composition are perfect. He just has an amazing eye for detail and perspective. I look forward to seeing his new pictures every day because I know I am in for a treat with each one. It does get hard to COMMENT. How often can you use the words: stunning, flawless, breathtaking, perfect?

    Keep up the fabulous work, Werner. And thank you for sharing!"
