Dreamlike Hipster Photography

Louis Edwin Fry Captures Surreal and Sublime Imagery

Louis Edwin Fry creates dreamlike, hipster photography with his series of blurred and color-altered portraits. With the growing popularity of Tumblr and Instagram, hipster photography has become synonymous with filtered imagery and surreal scenes.

This idea is brought to life in Louis Edwin Fry's series of photographs that capture subjects as they daydream and connect with the natural world that surrounds them.

The London-based photographer's works are emotive, conceptual and reflective of his vast artistic background. Fry studied photography at Camberwell College of Arts and continued his learning at the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig. In addition to being a master at visual captures, the photographer also doubles as a documentary film maker who uses his skills to create cinematic still imagery.
