“Don’t look at me. Just feel my soul,” says Laura Zalenga, a daydreamer and photographer from Germany who captures intimate and emotional portraits of herself, of models, and of strangers. Using her Nikon D600 she’s taken innumerable self-portraits from her shaved head days (loving every minute of life; feeling liberated and closer to nature), to a recent shoot in the nude in abandoned buildings. Her photography is a form of therapy, which helps to heal herself and others.
