Swedish photographer Helena Blomqvist creates dream-like imagery that transports us into the subconscious. She accomplishes this by constructing alternate worlds in her studio. Blomqvist builds models and props, which provide the backdrop for her narratives. Once completed, the models are then photographed, the images digitally edited, and finally the resulting prints complete the illusion of a separate reality.
‘Stories from Another World’ is currently on view at Fotografiska, Stockholm.

Wow, this is far out! I’d kill 2b this creative!
I love how some of the pictures are black and white, and then have a touch of bright color. It is absolutely gorgeous. I adore surreal art. It creates a new, chilling perspective. Kudos to the artist!
Goosebumps!
Stunning…Took my breath away
You have to have a show at Curly Tale Fine Art in Chicago!
Crazy beautiful.
Beautiful (and weird) pics!:) Great way to tell a story. Thanks for posting.
I actually visited Stockholm this weekend and saw this exhibition…. Her pictures are very unique and beautiful. Recommendable!

These are just so lovely – ethereal and eerie. Thank you for sharing.
These are very cool but kind of creepy. And by “kind of” I mean extremely. I’ve never heard of this photographer before, so thank you for introducing me to her. Nice post and congrats on fp!
Those are amazing–thanks so much for sharing them!
(I can’t help but laugh at the first one–Nineteenth-Century soldiers with animals’ heads! A commentary on imperialism perhaps!)
Good Creativity and thank you for sharing.

the color and composition send me to another world.
This is the second time I’ve visited your blog, the second clicking the link from the FP page, the first from googling Rodney Smith photography yesterday while trying to find an photograph of a little girl on a ladder leaning into a tree, in a fancy dress with a mask in front of her face…haven’t been able to find it though… Thank you for sharing such original works highlighting the artist’s visual voice and then transformed as a collage through yours.

Amazing pics!
Very creative and special…
Thanks for sharing.
Superb imagery. The ‘Lonely Patient’ reminded me of Hopper.
I am slightly stunned!
good and very nice
Very effective – but somewhat disturbing. The sense of loneliness and isolation, the stillness of death…….intriguing
don’t wake me – i want to stay sleeping – your eye for such dreamy state is a real gift. thank you for sharing this with all of us.
The images are so out there, and surprising, had to do a double take with the kid on the antelope. Awesome blog.
Nice pics1
Beautiful! Looks like a realist-surreal style. I like it!

Amazing work.
whimsical…lovely!
Beautiful images I really enjoyed wandering through your blog I find you work to be wistful and amusing and I very much enjoy the surreal quality you have so artfully created. Wonderful work thank you.
Very moving pictures touching and tugging at a persons childhood with a new variation on themes. Very great find this was.
I absolutely love these!!
Wow. I just posted some old photos of Swedish people from the 1900′s (distant relatives of my husband) on my website, and I hadn’t really thought about why I liked those old photos so much…until I saw these photos. Hmmm…how can I put it into words? Well, I guess it has something to do with how animals, and masks, and dolls can’t necessarily ‘smile for the camera’,…so they’re a little like those old turn of the century photos. But the magic comes not from temporal distance, but from artistic inspiration. Really cool. -vicky
Amazing, and so creative. Love it.
Always awesome stuff.
What beautiful and intriguing images.
Inspirational images, truly full of emotion. Your passion as a photographer shines bright.
Très bel univers, magnifique et féerique.

These photos remind me of impossible photography by Erik Johannson. Check out his work if you haven’t!
Brilliant and terrifying!
Vilken fina bilder! Helt underbart. Wow, these are inspiring!!
Beautiful! Thank you!
Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh, how I love this! And I’m so glad I found your blog through FP (congrats, by the way). Lovely features. Subscribing right now!
oh my god. i can’t belive how gorgeous all of that is.

Reminds me of Lewis Caroll
That’s exactly what I was thinking!
Transports you into a different realm! Creative..
wow, how creative. Just incredible!
Wonderful images! I feel like I’ve opened a book of fairy tales where nothing is as it seems!
this is very pretty. you have inspired me so much. thank you!
Your work is real cool. When I need to get away from this world I’ll visit yours.
This is so dreamy and fascinating~ Thanks for sharing
Interesting.
This is really good stuff. A little frightening if you have a phobia of monkeys (especially ones dressed up as ladies in black dresses) but excellent just the same.
I appreciate the originality of these scenes. What a great post to make it to the FP page!
I love your work! Amazing.

Amazing Art works
Wow I love your images! The transition between reality images and surreal artwork really is advanced artwork you have here. It reminds me of Salvador Dali’s work in some kind of way. It is awesome! Keep it up. Well done! I look forward to following your blog from now on!
Amazing ideas. Makes me wish I could implement myself into these pictures…. this surreal world..
Wonderful ideas and images. Amazing world created. Good luck with the exhibition…
Simply stunning. I love the ones that juxtapose dark colors with pops of bright yellow and red. Dreamlike indeed
The last one is definitely my favorite!

Wow! Absolutely amazing. What creativity.
Surreal

These images are so … jarring!
I love art that surprises me. This definitely qualifies.
