Fairytale Fun
I would like to recreate some of the magic of classic fairytales with my photography. I had Ariel in my studio recently posing as Sleeping Beauty. I am waiting on another model this afternoon – who I have to take photos of to collage and layer into the Sleeping Beauty photos, but I wanted to just play with one of the images from Ariel’s session.
I am planning on making prints and posters with the character’s name in beautiful lettering. Postcards, stationary and other items as well. Maybe a book of all of them together. I have often thought of doing my own version of the classic tales and including photos for the illustrations of the story.
Anyway, I did very little to this image – the model is lovely and her dress was well suited to the character. She and her sister designed and made the dress, which is amazing in itself!
I hope to download a number of more elaborate fonts that have a bit more flourish. I don’t always like fancy fonts, but I think some fancy fonts for this is important. Something castle-ee. Something princess-ee.
I have several other characters in mind that I would like to shoot as soon as possible. I’d like to have some of this stuff ready for the fairy festival if I jury in.
