I am glad to discover the photography of Alison Tyne, an artist and musician from New York whose work is brimming with fun and whimsical elements. I’m especially intrigued with her clever use of origami models as props for her dreams photo shoot. What a brilliant idea!

Some of Alison’s photographs are also available for sale at her etsy store. Also check out Alison’s gorgeous work on her flickr photostream.
