Eleanor Hardwick caught my attention with her use of color and light in her photographs. At first glance I wasn't certain of her medium. I thought some of her pieces were painted or set up structures. It was interesting to know that she was dealing with photography. She was born in Oxfordshire, England in 1993. She began taking an interest in photography when she was 12 years old, beginning with collectible Japanese fashion dolls. This fueled her interest in portraiture and fashion. She attempts to capture everyday routine life in a daydream kind of fashion. She describes her work as "conveying a juxtaposition between being lost in the world's perplexity, whilst finding beauty in all things, where a soft and whimsical romanticism meets wistfulness and and yearning." What amazes me is that she is only 16 years old and has been in an issue of Harper's Bazaar and in Vogue.
