I love the new theme that photographer Dina Goldstein has conjured. She has managed to take fairytale princesses and place them in real world situations with real world problems.
She says of her work…

The project was inspired by my observation of three-year-old girls, who were developing an interest in Disney’s Fairy tales. As a new mother I have been able to get a close up look at the phenomenon of young girls fascinated with Princesses and their desire to dress up like them. The Disney versions almost always have sad beginning, with an overbearing female villain, and the end is predictably a happy one. The Prince usually saves the day and makes the victimized young beauty into a Princess.

There are 2 more additions to be shot for this series which is going on exhibit on Oct. 15/09
