This collection explores a more imaginative, surreal side of my photo-editing practice. While much of my work involves subtle, naturalistic retouching, these pieces allow me to push far beyond realism and step into the dreamlike aesthetic pioneered by artists like Loretta Lux.

​

Each image is crafted as a small, self-contained world — slightly uncanny, beautifully controlled, and intentionally exaggerated. I approach these manipulations as an opportunity to build a visual narrative that sits somewhere between portraiture and fantasy. Through color, composition, and sculptural digital shaping, I aim to evoke a sense of wonder and invite viewers into a space where ordinary figures take on an otherworldly presence.

​

Creating these works brings me genuine joy. They represent my playful side as a designer and image-maker — a place where technique meets imagination, and where every portrait transforms into something unexpected. My hope is that viewers feel that shift too, and find themselves drawn into the quiet, surreal stories each piece tells.
