Perhaps best known for her luminous portraits in collaboration with legacy magazines and fashion houses, photographer Elizaveta Porodina has also captured the smaller, yet no less striking, creatures walking this planet. Commissioned for the climate-focused publication Atmos, a radiant series of images highlights beetles, butterflies, and mantises in her signature ethereal style and saturated color. The body of work focuses on the concept of biomimicry and accompanies a feature on Janine Benyus, who coined the term.
The portraits shown here are also included in Porodina’s new monograph Found Dreams, edited by Nadine Barth and released by Prestel, alongside her more cinematic, fashion-focused imagery. Pick up your copy from Bookshop, and dive into an archive of her work on Instagram.
