As a child Hayley Roberts was enchanted with the fairy tales her parents read to her, believing the world was full of magic and mystery. Through photography Hayley brings to life the kinds of stories she adored in her youth. These are the stories that bend and break the rules of reality. Where magic is part of the fabric of the universe.
Using trick photography and Photoshop manipulation, along with characters, costumes, props and posing, Hayley Roberts creates illusions that blend fantasy into the everyday. Hayley Roberts’ photographic art seeks to elate, inspire and provide an escape from the monotony of life’s routines by helping people recapture their childhood wonder.
