Melancholy: The only sounds were the distant, melancholy cries of the sea.

Kasia Derwinska "Photography is my way of communicating with the world. In my work, I talk about own experiences, thoughts, doubts, fears and hopes trying to reflect my own life's path. In addition to my experiences, my creations are inspired by night dreams as since childhood I remember most of them and I believe that dreams are the most simbolic language of our subconscious, a guide to navigate in the modern world. I am autodidactic and I don´t recognize myself as a photographer. I use photography as a tool, like a brush for painting or an instrument to play music. My work is an attempt to connect substantiality of the world that surrounds us with elusiveness of feelings and thoughts. For that reason I describe my creations as building a bridge between the visible and the invisible. My works are divided in four basic series: fairytales and fantasies, conceptual black and white, night dreams, and the color serie called "who sings, frightens away his fears"  More on Kasia Derwinska

01 Marine Fotograph - Miss Aniela's SHE SHOAL, with Footnotes, #329

Miss Aniela, United Kingdom

SHE SHOAL

Color, Digital, Manipulated on Paper

Private collection

Shot 40ft deep underwater in the Caribbean Sea of the Cayman Islands. Miss Aniela delivers a vision of part reality and part fantasy. In an unprecedented diving feat for model Coral Tomascik, who later transposed into a dress of 20,000 computer-created silverside fish becomes a surreal and otherworldly spectacle. More on this photograph

The noun shoal can be used to refer to a group of fish or an area of shallow water.

Miss Aniela 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. Miss Aniela’s work has been exhibited internationally. Her work has been featured in numerous media worldwide. 

As well as being active commercially she is currently working on her fine-art series ‘Surreal Fashion’ and environment-based series ‘Ecology’. 

She explains her work by saying, “Many of these images take classical works of art from the 19th century and earlier, pull them apart and breathe a new modern context around their brushstrokes. Dreamy, opulent characters interact with fictional elements so that the unreal becomes real and vice versa; an optical illusion of high fashion where antlers grow from hanging canvases and lashing seas span out from open doorways, with tiny men from another era perched atop the crest of the waves. The images are shot all over the world, from French chateaus to LA mansions, to classic English stately homes and kitsch London prop houses, amounting to many hours of production.” More on Miss Aniela
