Since leaving University in 2010, Alma has been working on self-portraits, being her own willing and available model. More recently she has started taking portraits of other people and is interested in making work that has a disquieting or disconcerting resonance. Alma has always made things with her hands and now tries to find ways to combine her fine art background with photography. She has used origami in the past as props in her photographs, but in this series ‘Cosmic Surgery’ the origami has become an integral part of the final image. The series has three distinct stages. Firstly Alma photographs her sitter, then prints multiple images of the subjects face and folds them into a complicated origami modular construction, which then gets placed back onto the original face of the portrait. Finally the whole thing is re-photographed. Origami is very meditative, you can get lost in the world of folding for hours. It is also extremely delicate and fragile, so by giving each geometric paper shape somewhere to sit within the final image, the origami has been given a backbone. There is something quite alien about the manipulated faces, as if they belong to some futuristic next generation. In these portraits the children become uncanny, while their parents are seen in a more familiar moment. With the simple act of folding an image Alma can transform each face and make a sort of flattened sculpture. By de-facing her models she has made their portraits into her own creations.

In her latest series, German photographer Alma Haser combines the portraits of several pairs of twins by literally puzzling their images together. Haser first photographs each twin separately, then prints their corresponding photograph onto a 500 or 1000-piece puzzle. Finally, Haser painstakingly switches every other piece to create two works that are an equal combinationContinue reading "Puzzling Portraits of Identical Twins by Photographer Alma Haser"
How to make the portrait shot more interesting? How about photographing your sitter in position, making multiple prints of those images, folding the prints into a maddeningly complex origami modular construction, placing it in front of the sitter's face and then re-photographing the entire pose from scratch? Sound complicated? It's just part of the process for the fantastically talented photographer Alma Haser whose work _Cosmic Surgery_ saw her shortlisted for the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Award back in 2012.

Anyone that knows a pair of identical twins, especially as a child, will have had the wool pulled over their eyes at some point by a cunning T-shirt switch or hairstyle change. But despite being almost genetically identical, monozygotic twins bear just enough differences to be told apart. Their fingerprints, for example, will share the same loops, whorls and ridges but will differ in the minutiae, due to the different positions each twin occupies in the womb.
Alma Haser mixes origami and photography to create strange, stunning portraits.
London artist Alma Haser achieves a most curious effect in her portrait series "Cosmic Surgery" by replacing the faces of her subjects with origami. She
In the age of Fake News, how can we discern what is real and what is make-believe? There’s a sense of dissonance: our beliefs shape our interpretations of objective facts, which are shaped by what we see and what we believe about them. Alma Haser played with this unrest for her Phases series, which showcases a number of photographs of plants that were folded, cut, and otherwise twisted by hand into a three-dimensional paper sculpture and rephotographed.
