Surreal Human Portraits Behind Nature Reflections – by Loreal Prystaj

Up-and-coming American photographer Loreal Prystaj is making waves with her new, conceptual photography series, Reflections of Nature. Shot in Finland, the enchantingly surreal set of photos sees the fine art photographer laid out in nature, with just a mirror covering her head and torso.

The results are impressive. The lush greens and blues of Finland’s environment contrast against the photographer’s milky skin. The mirror, hugged closely, intermittently acts to both camouflage and reflect. As a result, she is one with nature, immersed with only her bare legs and arms to betray her presence.

“There is no such thing as compromising with nature; we simply abide by how it lives and exist as a part of it. Nature is very relevant to each individual’s well- being, but more so than it is part of us, we are part of it”

“From observing nature’s schedule and landscapes, I placed myself in its environments while nature looked at itself in the mirror”
