The ethereal portraits aren’t traditional: rather than face the camera, the women in the pictures turn away, leaving the viewer to study the backs of their heads. What most draws the eye are a line of props. Teacups rest stoically on a shadow-strewn tablecloth. A bone-white ellipsis rests on a surface in front of a woman with short, dark hair. Spanish photographer Andrea Torres Balaguer‘s mysterious photographs, titled MOON, are an ode to the beauty of nature and womanhood.

An eerie stillness pervades each of the photographs, with a single source of light slightly alleviating the darkly moody imagery. The moon, reflecting the mutability of each photo environment, becomes the transformative agent.
