Elene Usdin

One of my friends discovered Usdin and sent her as a reference to me, as the photo shoot I did with the tights and string technique, is similar to some of her work.

Usdin is a french photographer and illustrator. Her eerily beautiful work has a rich foundation in her dreams and nightmares. She started out as a set designer and in 2004 discovered photography initially learning by taking self portraits. The work behind closed doors allowed her to play with lighting and different approaches to body language.

“Like a distorting mirror, the images are mine, but they have been somewhat transformed and sometimes magnified as a result of working with other people.”
