Gentle fantasy of the photographer Elizabeth Elder

Fairies, elves, mermaids and unicorns live in the myths and legends of different peoples. And also in the creations of the American photographer and retoucher Elizabeth Elder. The characters created by her are so realistic that it is easy to believe in their existence. At her personal exhibitions, the author tells amazing stories that she has displayed in photographs. Therefore, Elder can also be called a storyteller.

Elizabeth Elder is a young photographer from Los Angeles, USA, who began her career in 2016. Her works are full of surreal and fantastic images based on mythological heroes and creatures. Elder uses the potential of digital technologies to create his beautiful works. She painstakingly processes the pictures, turning them into a real fairy tale.

Until 2021, Elizabeth Elder preferred studio shooting. This is not surprising, because she created almost the entire entourage in graphic editors. But in 2021, the photographer rethought her approach and began shooting outdoors. Most fans of Elder's work believe that although she has become less productive, her photos have become more lively and interesting.

Now she travels the world in search of inspiration and new images. Elder believes that the boundaries of modern photographic art need to be urgently expanded and let in fresh ideas and non-standard approaches. She herself is a great example of how interesting a combination of skill, talent and digital technology can be.

Artist Anato Finnstark also creates images from fantastic universes. However, his images are more mundane, gloomy and militant.
