Paulina Otylie Surys – Exquisite Analog Photography
Paulina Otylie Surys is a Polish fine art and fashion photographer based in London, UK. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Poland where she developed her skills and her distinctive style as a painter. Following her studies, she discovered photography to be her preferred medium for its unique ability to capture a moment in time. The most amazing part of her stunning works is that she uses entirely analogue equipment and early photographic techniques. The artist loves to experiment and juxtapose the old and the new. The imagery is highly original yet possessed of a classical sensibility. She develops the photographs at home and paints with her own hands using a combination of toners, chemicals, inks and dry dyes. The results are the product of a truly undiluted artistic vision. Her photographs have been described as otherworldly and as existing somewhere between fairy tale and nightmare, while the influence of classic photography and painting remains ever evident.
