A while back I created this post but never actually posted it online. Desiree Dolron is a fantastic photographer from The Netherlands, born in 1963 in Haarlem. She has traveled the world and has managed to capture things in a very spectacular manner. Above is her series called Xteriors. Below are some photos of the Te Di Todos Mis Suenos series, taken I believe in Cuba. Her photographs have something mystical and mysterious, colourful and colourless all in one. Would love to have a couple of her photographs on our walls. There is something picasso-esque about some the Xteriors series (the blue period of course).
