Elizabeth told Bored Panda that a reading slump back in 2016 made her want to “reconnect with the publishing world.” While looking for ideas, she came upon the hashtag #bookstagram, where Instagram users share book suggestions.

She then started using the hashtag to share pictures of the books that she read. Over time, her photos became more and more complicated.

Elizabeth’s stunning photos combine her love for books and photography. Her Instagram account now has almost 200k followers!

She has created installations that look straight out of the pages of a fantasy book.
