Flora Borsi’s skill with digitally-altered photography is the stuff of legends. Her images have won many awards the world over, and the artist was even named the face of Adobe Photoshop in 2014. But for the self-portrait photo project she is calling Animeyed, Borsi is stepping outside her comfort zone. While she does use Photoshop to combine her self portraits with photos she’s taken of animals, her own look is not digital. The artist uses colored contacts to match each animal’s eye color, then changes her hair color, and makes up her skin to better compliment the colors of her animal subjects.
These really are some of the most striking self-portraits I’ve ever seen. I hope you are as taken with them as I am!
You can follow Borsi on her website, and on Instagram, Facebook , Twitter, Behance, and Tumblr.

I like how she also uses the look on her face to convey emotion or mood.

I thought the same, then I tried to name the emotion on the first picture, and concluded it was “fish.”

Probably not for my wall…but as a screen saver series, they would be excellent.
I really liked the one with the dog.
The green hair with the amphibian is cool as well….Kind of had a flashback to Jennifer Garner in Alias.
