Wrinkled Landscape Photography

Laura Plageman Transforms These Landscape Pictures into Surreal Art

— November 26, 2013 — Art & Design
These beautifully wrinkled landscape pictures come from artist Laura Plageman. Each of these photographs focuses on striking forest scenery, but Plageman adds interest to these shots by digitally manipulating them. She makes these lovely landscape photos appear crinkled, as if they were blankets, or sheets of paper. Essentially she transforms these breathtaking photos into surreal artworks, moving them around like everyday objects.

Tree-covered mountain sides are already beautiful. Plageman really challenges herself in this series by taking something that's naturally stunning and making it even more eye-catching. These delightfully distorted photographs make viewers look at landscapes in a new way.

This wonderfully wrinkled art series is called 'Response.' It presents viewers with crumpled skylines, rivers and forests that are hard to look away from.
