These woodland portraits show women in beautiful poses and settings that are partially real, partially fabricated and partially manipulated.
The photography was captured by the London-based artist Stephanie Pearl who depicts humans in natural settings that almost look like they are part of fairytales. The artist is clearly inspired by surrealism in her work and uses lighting and angles to create mystical photos that are beautiful and at times, borderline eerie. The woodland portraits capture the artist's imagination in a way that most are only able to show via forums that are not based in reality.
This artwork is inspiring and reveals intimate images that can only be replicated through diligent planning and skill.
