PAULINA OTYLIE SURYS
Born in Poland and currently based in London, Paulina Otylie Surys demonstrates a distinctly unique and bewitching style with her organic and multi-layered photos. She has recently ventured into provocative fashion photography in London after a classical background in fine art from the Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocklaw, Poland. Surys works with a variety of mediums to create her signature pieces – preferring to use analogue cameras, she then paints her images by hand using a variety of inks, toners, chemicals and dyes before repeating the photography process.
