New York City based photographer Brooke DiDonato takes surreal images inspired by her dreams. Her work blurs the boundaries of fiction by fusing real-life narratives with surreal details.
Some of them are inspired by specific occurrences in my dreams and others are less literal interpretations of them, such as the feelings experienced as a result.

“A composite photo. The main image was shot from the 26th floor of a building in NYC. Then for the rest, I had four of my friends lie down in the snow and posed them as if they were dangling from a string. I photographed them from directly above so the perspectives would match and then carefully stitched the two images together in Photoshop.”

“Taken in Central Park. I think my favorite thing about shooting in NYC is when I take a photo that doesn’t look like it was shot in the city… which is sort of strange.”

“I recently bought a fog machine and its been really great for creating surreal environments from scratch. This was shot against a white background with tons of fog and mono lights. “
Brooke’s work has been nationally recognized by Photographer’s Forum Magazine, Creative Quarterly and College Photographer of the Year. She received a gold in illustration from College Photographer of the Year in 2012.
