Magic Paper Work is a photographic series that explores the beauty of experimentation, transforming paper and props into enchanting visual narratives.
A collaboration between interdisciplinary designer Leonie Smelt and fine art photographer Renata Chede, Magic Paper Work merges expertise in social design, visual storytelling, and material experimentation. Their shared vision celebrates creativity, discovery, and the hidden beauty in everyday elements.
Now evolving in new directions, Magic Paper Work welcomes collaborations and commissions, seeking opportunities to apply its distinctive aesthetic to editorial features, cultural projects, and commercial work connected to nature, sustainability, and design.
