Picture
The Photograph i have chosen to write about is 'Reverie' by Miss Aniela.Natalie 'Miss Aniela' Dybisz was born in Leeds, 1986, and studied BA English & Media at University of Sussex.
Her career as an artist began whilst still at University, and shortly following, was sought to speak in the US for Microsoft and offered solo shows in London and Madrid. She is now a fine-art and commercial photographer based in London.  

This image is very surreal and stands out to me because of this. To create this image she has photographed the background first and then photographed herself laying on a stool or table. After processes include photoshop to edit out the stool . She has then layered this on top of a background photograph. The lighting and colours give the image a fresh, modern edge. The image appears peacefull. I think it is quite difficult to recreate such a relaxed pose with a model perched on a small stool or chair.

After researching into this image, i thought it would be a good idea to look up the definition of the title of the image. 'Reverie' is a state of being pleasantly lost in ones thoughts, or daydreaming. I think that this is a good title because the definition of reverie is definitely portrayed in this image.. 

The colours in this photograph are soft and subtle., This gives it a calming feel. I like that she looks so natural and relaxed. I chose to write about this image because of the surreal qualities. When i first looked at this image i liked that she was levitating and was interested in learning how it was done. After looking at it more closely and looking at the little things that add to the effect of it, i have grown to like it alot more, not just because of the surrealism but because of all the detail like the soft colours and naturalness, and the time and effort that has gone into making it so perfect.

This is why id really like to try and recreate an image like this. What i particularly like about this piece is how tranquil it is. I really like this photograph and honestly cant say there is one thing i dislike about it. If i were to ask Miss Aniela anything, i would ask where her inspiration came from for this image. I have really been inspired by Miss Anielas work and am basing alot of the ideas i have for future work on her work.
