Her work strikes a unique blend of conceptual portraiture and fashion photography, often incorporating fantastical elements akin to fairy-tales or a nightmares. I was blown away by her endlessly impressive portfolio and I am so pleased that she agreed to do this interview amidst what seems to be a very hectic schedule!]]> http://leahjohnston.com/art/2009/08/inspiration-of-the-week-photographer-laura-ferriera/feed/ 1 Before and After: Lost without you http://leahjohnston.com/art/2009/08/before-and-after-lost-without-you/ http://leahjohnston.com/art/2009/08/before-and-after-lost-without-you/#comments Mon, 24 Aug 2009 20:35:27 +0000 Leah Johnston http://leahjohnston.com/art/?p=509 http://leahjohnston.com/art/2009/08/before-and-after-lost-without-you/feed/ 0 Inspiration of the Week: Photomontage Artist Mattijn http://leahjohnston.com/art/2009/08/inspiration-of-the-week-photomontage-artist-mattijn/ http://leahjohnston.com/art/2009/08/inspiration-of-the-week-photomontage-artist-mattijn/#comments Sun, 23 Aug 2009 22:02:50 +0000 Leah Johnston http://leahjohnston.com/art/?p=482 Mattijn.
