I Just Had To Post These,

almost ghost like landscapes,


  by Berlin-based photographer Navina Khatib,

they were taken in the middle of nowhere, 

 more than 3600 meters above sea level, at Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni, the planet’s largest salt flat,

 Khatib transforms her surroundings into fragments from a dream,

 some of her images are made with prisms, while others are layered multiple exposures,

 the process of reimagining an image can take hours, but it sometimes takes months, 

 She listens to music throughout, and the sounds help guide the work,


Salar de Uyuni was her perfect playground, in 2011, she worked at an orphanage in the Peruvian Andes and devoted half a year to exploring South America with her partner, “We stayed more than a month in the Altiplano of Bolivia, traveling by bus among the locals, eating local food, sometimes not even knowing where to spend the night,” she remembers. “We were getting to know the incredible landscape raw and unfiltered, a true adventure.” You can follow Khatib on Instagram at @navinakhatib and to see more of her work, what stunning out of this world ghostly photographs, I wish I was there to take some!
