MISS ANIELA is a fine-art fashion photographer based in London, UK. Her series SURREAL FASHION is where beauty meets absurdity, and couture meets chaos. Suspended in dreamy, glamorous worlds, opulent characters serve up surreal surprises from the sublime to the bizarre: where zoo animals occupy chateaus, ribbon reels morph into painted birds of Melchior d'Hondecoeter, and elegant dresses bleed into the ocean. The images are shot all over the world, from French chateaus to LA mansions, to classic English stately homes and kitsch London prophouses, amounting to many hours of production. Miss Aniela continues her series and plans to publish a dedicated fine-art book.

Miss Aniela is now a business run jointly with her partner Matt Lennard. Together they run a self-branded production, the Fashion Shoot Experience, in London, LA and New York. Their life passion increasingly lays in making the ultimate photography adventures happen.
