Ellen Kooi






A photographer I've been looking at a lot for inspiration is Ellen Kooi. Her work is very surreal and maintains a very dreamy look. She works with mostly set-up situations, which is not what I like to do, but I think that through looking at this work I've been gaining a better understanding of elements I want to include in my own work. For my final, I want to really focus on making real situations and tangible elements more dreamlike; using something you could ordinarily see, but in a way you ordinarily wouldn't see it. I think Kooi's work is very successful in creating this new reality; the colors and light diffusion are really beautiful and add a lot to the images.
