I so love getting lost in dreamy pictures, but sometimes it’s even cooler when dreamy pictures look like they could have actually happened in real life. Today’s feature is about a photographer who infuses elements from dreamland, the imagination, and fairy tales with reality in a way that makes the impossible seem really quite possible after all.

Anja Stiegler (also known as Photoflake) is an amateur photographer from Wolfsburg, Germany. By trade she is actually a multimedia engineer who discovered her passion for photography and image editing in 2006 as a way to balance out the left-braininess required for her studies. Anja is completely self-taught and uses surrealism, conceptualism, and the fascinating idea of a world of daydreams as inspiration for her incredible photographs.

Eni Turkeshi is an experimental photographer living in Albania who embraces alternative printing techniques as a part of her creative process. Her images often tend to have a hauntingly surreal quality to them due to the use of double exposures, odd hues, blurriness, and visible film grains, which serve to add an extra dimension to Eni’s already eerie subjects. She is also one of 12 amazing contributors to The Flood #6, the newest issue of our independently produced international creative arts and culture zine (available for a limited time in The Flood Shop as a $3.00 digital download or a $5.00 print copy).
