About the Artist:
Alyssa Thorne is an interdisciplinary artist & writer from the Pacific Northwest, creating vivid fantasy photographs, primarily in the still-life tradition. Recognized for her lush, dark imagery & exceptional set artistry, Alyssa is also known for worldbuilding beyond the lens with written companion lore in short story or essay format, each imbuing the associated visual art with a thoughtful and creative backstory. Subjects for Alyssa’s art range from retelling her lived experiences to original pieces of short fiction & subtle tributes for beloved works of film, television, and video/TTRPG games.
Borne from myriad interwoven mediums, each finished work faithfully represents an ephemeral vignette that was sketched, planned, constructed, and photographed over days to years. Alyssa’s works are a unique alchemy that combines skillfully crafted supporting structures, self-made props, florals, antiques, and other objects into an elaborate final set. They are always arranged on the physical plane and captured in-camera using practical effects, natural light manipulation, and clever set design.
Digital edits made post-shoot are rooted in traditional darkroom techniques, and there is no collaging or compositing in Alyssa’s personal work. This expansive, multi-layered process produces an unmistakable personal style and unique compositions juxtaposing the classical with the unconventional. Every photograph is a liminal doorway hidden inside the shadows of painterly chiaroscuro—an open portal waiting for a viewer to discover.
