Fallen Princesses Essay by Dina Goldstein
Here’s a photo essay that caught my eye. It’s more of a sad message than I’d like, but the technique is similar to some things I’ve been working on. Since I’m expecting a kid later this year, I’m really distracted by the urge to smack Snow White’s Prince Charming in the head. Also, if you’re intrigued by this work, you may want to check our Bill Willingham’s Fables comic. I’m a regular reader.

8 June 2009These works place Fairy Tale characters in modern day scenarios. In all of the images the Princess is placed in an environment that articulates her conflict. The ‘…happily ever after’ is replaced with a realistic outcome and addresses current issues.
Inspiration
An artist who’s work I like was interviewed recently and said that they were inspired by the following people:
Karl Lagerfeld
Stan Brakhage
Kenneth Anger
Francis Bacon
Helmut Newton
Posting these here so they’re easy to find when I have time to research their work.
