Lissy Laricchia, aka Lissy Elle is a Canadian photographer who creates magical, how-did-she-do-that surrealist photos. She enjoys bending the laws of physic via the use of ingenious props, camera settings, and digital manipulation. Her dream-like photographs have a pleasing aesthetic, and transport the viewer to an alternate reality, if only for a moment. Lissy Elle’s Website

The talented artist says, “I am someone who likes to pretend that I don’t care what other people think of me. I like to pretend that I make my art for ME, and no one else. But there comes a point in every artist’s life that they crave recognition. Admit it. Be not ashamed. This is only human.”

Lissy goes on to explain the importance of her supportive audience; “The overwhelming support I’ve received from the online community may be the only reason I’ve been able to get this far. Whenever someone says I have inspired them I realize I can never stop. If anyone creates anything that wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for me, I feel like I can change the world. When I don’t have that rush for a while, I need that feeling back. My images are half for me, and half for you.”
