\"Photographer<\/p>\n

Perhaps best known for her luminous portraits in collaboration with legacy magazines and fashion houses, photographer Elizaveta Porodina<\/a> has also captured the smaller, yet no less striking, creatures walking this planet. Commissioned for the climate-focused publication Atmos<\/em>, a radiant series of images highlights beetles, butterflies, and mantises in her signature ethereal style and saturated color. The body of work focuses on the concept of biomimicry and accompanies a feature on Janine Benyus<\/a>, who coined the term.<\/p>\n

The portraits shown here are also included in Porodina\u2019s new monograph Found Dreams<\/em>, edited by Nadine Barth and released by Prestel<\/a>, alongside her more cinematic, fashion-focused imagery. Pick up your copy from Bookshop<\/a>, and dive into an archive of her work on Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n
