Photographer: Maggie Taylor

Taylor uses a flatbed scanner to scan vintage photos and found objects, manipulating and populating the final images using Adobe Photoshop. This technique results in images both whimsical and unsettling. “I am interested in creating a cohesive, visual, believable space that the viewer can visually enter,” the artist has said.
