As I browse through the amazing work of Miss Aniela (real name Natalie Dybisz), I understand completely why she is considered quite the sensation in the photography industry. Considering that she's entirely self-taught, she is truly a photographic prodigy.
Dabbling in her chosen art form since 2006, Miss Aniela has garnered a lot of attention and notoriety since. From mixed media images to surreal photo-manipulated ones and straightforward self-portraits, she has managed to put together quite the impressive portfolio.
Based in London, England, Miss Aniela considers herself a fine art photographer. She is inspired by literature, film, dreams and other photographers such as Yulia Gorodinski. Miss Aniela is sponsored by Photoflex, Blurb, LiveBooks and Phase One. She is the author of Self-Portrait Photography.
