Fairytales Come To Life In Magical Photos by Russian Photographer Margarita Kareva
Margarita Kareva is a Russia-based photographer who specializes in fantasy art photography. Her photographs beautifully portray women that have been transformed into fairytale princesses and witches. She adds surreal elements to her shots that make the photographs really stand out, combining Photoshop manipulation with real props. In an interview with Rosphoto, she explained that she finds inspiration for all her photoshoots in fantasy books.
Kareva’s work is constantly evolving and growing because she took up photography just three years ago. Her portfolio is already full of vibrant, magical and creative images. Kareva’s story proves that it is never too late to take up a new hobby – you just need to “learn every day, all your life”.
AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL
Spell-binding.
really pretty, but I have no idea what fairytales they are representing
I don't think they are representing any specific fairy tale. I think they are just "fairytale-esque" :)
Check out http://www.tradestonegallery.com/?content=fairytales You'll find some of them there. Be aware, the Russian tales aren't like Disney.
no creepier than Gauf or Grimm tales, I assure you)
No kidding. Much darker, for one. I just read The Magic Egg (Technically Hungarian) That is a fairy tale with about a dozen fairy tales wrapped up inside it. AMAZING.
They represent Russian tales. I can see Snow White in there too (the mirror with the apples), which has a slightly different version in Russia.
