The surreal images in this series of expressive photography were captured by Gina Vasquez, a photographer based in New York. The images are so dreamlike, playing with our perception of reality and shaping it into something new.
In one image the model holds a balloon and it appears to be harboring an underwater world with a fish swimming in it. The sits calmly at the beach with her pet, almost as if she's floating on the water. The photographer plays with some of the most ethereal colors like blues, greens, purples and soft peaches. In almost every image, there is a beautiful symbol of nature and serenity: a fish, a flower, or a butterfly.
This expressive photography series has a gorgeous blend of nature-inspired scenery and dreamworld-inspired details.
