She feels most at home in the mountains, forests, fields and ocean... all of which are heavily incorporated into her photography. She combines self portraiture with real landscapes, often spending days at a time in the wilderness while creating ethereal images that evoke peaceful solitude and portray the beauty of matching one’s heartbeat with the beat of nature. TORI HARP Tori first picked up her mom’s camera and discovered her love for astrophotography beneath the starry skies high in the mountains of Western Washington, USA. After many nights spent in the cold, she began capturing images she’d envisioned. She was hooked! She’s since continued to chase the night sky. Tori now lives in the Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve, home to the largest gold-tier dark-sky reserve in the world, making it an ideal place to observe the night sky.
