Laura Makabresku

I stumbled across the work of Laura Makabresku a few weeks back and keep drifting back over her photography. It seems to be inspired by fairy tales, sex, sadness, the delicate, rejection and darkness. I adore her use of taxidermy animals and masks, her girls with their long locks are gorgeously fairy tale-esque but with a soft touch of melancholy and chills.

"i don't have anything in common with myself. i'm a poet and owl. i'm sensitiveness and empty space. sometimes i feel that i grew up beside death.(i'm inspired by sensitivity and darkness)."

Denise Grünstein

Swedish photographer Denise Grünsteinhas such a beautifully eerie portfolio. Her images hang between being strange, beautiful and otherworldly. I particularly like the end misty child photographs with knitted outfits, masks and dolls. Oh, and the bejeweled collared wolfie of course, a furball with style!
