Another planet, another world

Camera reality is different from what we see with our eyes — so why not push that kind of vision even further to imagine what it might be like to live on a distant Earth-like planets aglow with wildly different colors than we experience here?

I always dreamed of living on an another earth-like world. Wondering how it might look, I began working on my project by researching astronomy and physics. Would a world be possible with blue soil, purple sun, and green nights? Why not? The idea of an infrared colored world had a major role on shaping the concept and style of the work. The series consist of photographs taken at Azerbaijan and Turkey. I tried to reflect another world by manipulating images towards color-surrealism without compromising real world appearance.
