Take a mental vacation from the world as we know it...
... into a world long since forgotten
About the Author
Andrew Paranavitana
parmi
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
My work often takes two avenues of theme: a darker, sometimes scary world of unseen nightmares, and a nostalgic playground of warm memories, much safer and happier than the former.
I have always looked further than traditional methods of photography. Digital manipulation has allowed me to communicate and share my view of the world. I have a need to lace my work with elements of obscure visions and deliver a piece the viewer can connect with on multiple levels.
Andrew Paranavitana is an independent photographic artist. His driving passion for photography began in 1994. Andrew’s vision today is to capture the world as we know it, and present it in a way that we may not.

Absolutely beautiful Andrew and just a sample of your stunning artistic sense. The photography is brilliant in itself but your post work is so exceptional - I don't think you've ever created a piece I haven't loved.
