"Once Upon a Time" Fairytale Photography Project

Photography Class Final Project:
Fairytales

Down, down, down the rabbit hole...

For my final project, I decided to take five portraits that are contemporary, visual depictions of well-known fairytale characters. Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved reading fairytales. I think all kids do. But it seems that as we get older the magic and imagination that we have as a children fades in a way. I wanted to take pictures that reflect the imagination and innocence that we have as children, but forgot as we grew up. I think these storybook images are relatable to viewers because each of us heard these classic stories when we were kids. In that way I want my pictures to bring the viewer back into memories of their childhood. But I have put a modern spin on each of the characters, which keeps the photographs realistic- despite the whimsical nature of the subject I have chosen.
