Alma Haser

Alma Haser is a German-born photographer who reworks her portraits with paper folding, collage and mixed media, so that pictures sit between two and three dimensions. She grew up in the Black Forest and studied photography at Nottingham Trent University, graduating in 2010. Her series include Cosmic Surgery, faces altered with origami, and Identical Twins, in which portraits of twins are combined as jigsaw puzzles. She won fourth prize in the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize in 2012. She has lived and worked in St Leonards, Hastings.
