Introducing myself: Lalalopo Berlin Photography
Hi, I’m Stef – a creative producer, artist manager, and photographer working at the intersection of music, visual storytelling, and cultural movements.
Born in the poetic city of Heidelberg and raised amid the vibrant colors and rhythms of Rabat, Morocco, my journey has always been guided by a love for cross-cultural expression and the power of creative transformation.
Since planting roots in Berlin in 2011, I’ve dedicated my work to shaping artistic narratives that transcend borders. Whether it’s through managing genre-defying bands, capturing raw moments with a camera, or co-creating multimedia productions, I’m fueled by the connective energy of art.
Artist Management: Building Stories Through Sound
At the heart of my work is a deep commitment to artists who embody authenticity, vision, and emotional depth. I currently manage three incredible bands:
📍 The Trouble Notes – An international progressive folk-fusion band whose cinematic live shows fuse world folk, rock, and storytelling. From sold-out tours to festival highlights like Glastonbury and Castlefest, I guide their creative direction, touring, and production strategies.
📍 Tribubu – A joyous Afro-Rumba folk quartet known for their infectious rhythms, street spirit, and community-driven performances. With roots in Spain, Côte d’Ivoire, and the UK, they bring audiences together across genres and generations.
📍 Just Like Clay – A fresh indie folk-pop project born from cross-continental collaboration and bound by melody, poetry, and performance. Their style is intimate, yet anthemic—an exploration of emotion wrapped in harmony.
My work with these bands goes far beyond logistics—it's about amplifying identity, nurturing creative evolution, and curating experiences that move people.
Photography: Framing the Emotional Architecture of Life
When not on the road or deep in production plans, you’ll often find me behind the lens. My photography explores the spaces between people and place, blending documentary with fine art to tell stories of belonging, transformation, and stillness in motion.
From urban portraits to festival landscapes and quiet in-between moments, my work is always about capturing what makes us human. I see photography not just as a visual practice, but as an act of connection.
A Life Between Worlds
Having lived between Morocco, Germany, and now working across Europe, I carry a deep respect for how art shapes identity—and how identity, in turn, shapes the art we create.
My creative life is built on collaboration, curiosity, and a belief that music and imagery can transcend language and borders. I’m constantly inspired by movement—whether that’s in culture, cities, or internal transformation.
Let’s Create Together
I love working with artists, filmmakers, festivals, and visionaries who believe in the power of story-driven art. If you're working on a project that bridges disciplines, tells bold stories, or needs a steady hand and heart in creative production—let’s connect.
Welcome back to Hive! 😁
Welcome aboard! I know The Trouble Notes and have seen them live. I found them on Hive first. Hive is a new frontier in social media and you may find it different. It can help to verify yourself with a link to Hive from another site, e.g. FB. We do get some fake accounts.
There's lots of photography here with various communities and contests. You will have to engage with others to get noticed as there are no algorithms to do it for you.
Have fun!
There are a lot of great photographers! That's why I have been pestering her to come back. We talk so much about how Social Media is dead and inundated with AI content. I'm going to start finally getting through to people! 🤣
Did she have another account before? That's okay if she wants to start afresh.
Dates all the way back to STEEMIT - but unfortunately I think the private keys were on a prehistoric laptop and they are no longer accessible. One of the challenges about our ecosystem
Ah, that's happened for plenty of people. First rule here is to have a good backup of your keys.
Thank you so much for your recommendations als regarding the fake accounts. I will check with Bennet from The Trouble Notes regarding the verification process. Can you recommend photography communities I should be joining?
There are some big communities like this one, but it may be hard to get noticed. I tend to prefer smaller communities for a specific interest. I'm sure if you poke around you can find something interesting.
Hey ! Great to see you here.... There is plenty creatives here, enjoy :)
That's what I have been told by @thetroublenotes
