I believe Stina directed the music video for Koop - Gl?md, right? Ii finally saw it on Youtube for the first time and it's amazing; she should do more videos!
She did indeed direct it-and yes,it is great.(I'm the proud owner of a high-quality original video).She also did the photos on the album cover (some editions) of 'Sons Of Koop'.
She also did 'Expensive' by Souls,which they didn't like.Anyone ever seen it? Not I. And a couple of her own-'This time John','Dynamite' and another which I've forgotten.
In a recent-ish interview she wondered whether there was any point doing videos any more for music.Also she seems to have lost interest in photography...

I often wonder myself why you make videos for music; what is the reason for it? not that I dislike it, I even love music videos. One of course is to sort of 'sell' your band image; people enjoy things more when they see it i think, so this is also a reason. On the other hand it's also a bit like when they make a movie from your favourite book and it turns out different than you'd imagined... But mostly I really like music videos.

Or for that matter,why do artists put artwork on their album/single covers?
I suppose its just a way of attracting attention to their audio work via a persons visual senses as well as their audio senses.....if that makes sense?

Did she say that she didn't like photography or that she simply lost interest in it? Again its probably just the repetition factor kicking in and getting bored and disatisfied.
Stina probably just found another interest to occupy her time with.
Here's the relevant bits:-
From the 'GROOVE' interview(she's talking about 'GOWYL' at first)
'This video that you've just done, how involved were you there?
- No, this is the first time that someone else had a complete control on the project but I did have some input on the ideas. Amir was interesting to work with. I am hugely sceptical of doing videos, I do not watch TV. I think the messages or feeling conveyed by videos aren't as strong.
But you've still done good videos.
- But nevertherless they were done in the past. It's dated now and belong to a certain period. When i look back at them, I think they are good but I'm not excited about them.
Have you done videos by yourself?
- Two, I believe. Three, actually. No, I've done four. I have done two for myself, one for Souls and one for Koop.'
And from 'Sentimentalist' Interview:-
'Is photography something that is still very important to you as well?
-No. For me, photography was something creative for a period of time, but I've discovered it... I think there was a point when I could have gone to something on another level or stopped, and I stopped.'
