An Autistic’s skills can, of course, apply in various other artistic pursuits aside from drawing or painting. Below is an example of someone making use of their Autistic fixations in the area of photography. Here is more on Luna The Moon Girl (aka LunaTMG): > [@](#): > > **The photographs of an emerging French photographer depict her fascination with reflections, a feature of her autism.** > > The photographer, who uses the online name “Luna” to protect her privacy, has been quietly posting her haunting, evocative images in the Flickr photo sharing website for the last two years. With oddly vibrant colors, they show entrancing and disorienting scenes of overlapping images which trap one’s eye in layers of meaning. > > **Like most people with autism, Luna has several fixations – topics which intensely fascinate her and dominate her thoughts.** For Luna, these include cats, reflections, and vegan cooking. All three show up in her photographs, but her most moving images involve the reflections she finds everywhere. She explains that, for her, > “When I’m shooting, I often see the reflection before the thing which made the reflection. The object is not as important as the reflections. What I can see in a puddle is so moving for my soul, I’m melting with happiness!” > > Many of her images seem like photo-montages created by combining several other photographs using photo-editing software, but they are not. All of Luna’s photographs are actual scenes she has found… Some more of Luna’s images can be viewed here: [http://www.lurvely.com/photographer/33480347\_N07/](http://www.lurvely.com/photographer/33480347_N07/) > **[Flickr: Photos of Luna TMG](https://www.flickr.com/people/lunatmg/photosof/)** > > The safest and most inclusive global community of photography enthusiasts.
