wow! Gorgeous gallery! I found a little info about her, copy and pasted below:

The award winning Croatian photographer Branka Jukic has achieved an international reputation for her stunning and hauntingly beautiful photographic images. Her limited edition prints have been acquired by private collectors both in Europe and America, and her photographs displayed in galleries in London (Hamiltons Gallery) and abroad. In September 2003 Jukic had a major one woman show in Zagreb.
Her work has been commissioned by many leading advertising agencies and companies, these include Abbott Mead Vickers (British Telecom); The Designory (Mercedes); CDT Design (English National Opera); Eberle GmbH (Weleda); Euro RSCG (Vidal Sassoon); Harari Page (Dupont, Harvey Nichols); Leagas Delaney (Addidas); Ogilvy & Mather (Ford Cars); and Saachi & Saachi Advertising (British Rail).

A breathtaking display of talent. Thanks for sharing.

wow, great stuff,   any idea on technique??  some look pinhole-esque,   others dare i say it (dont shoot me down)  due to selective focusing and extreme Dof look a little bit like a lensbaby,  but a lot more subtle i guess?

Great stuff though, especially like the forest scenes.

Wow, what incredible images. It feels like there's a fair bit of post camera work going on. Certainly a couple of the shots were hand painted.  I'd love to know how she achieves that look (apart from pure talent obviously  )

I've got an old AG magazine with quite a few of her pics in it - They are easier to assess than the web versions.  I'd agree with janet - I think much of the look is acheived in the darkroom - lots of burning and diffusion happening.  Maybe even some paper internegs?  I'll have a read of the article and let you know.
