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.
Beautiful.
Utterly breath taking
Stunning!
Ohhhhh...wordless. This is awesome.
Would love to have several in my home!! Stunning.
it would be learning to be a makeup artist I would love to know how she went about doing something like this

These are fabulous. The kind of thing I hope to achieve one day.
perfect ! !! !
Stunning work .
I don't like the use of fur. Typical Russian there. Also with a few exceptions (the red-haired girl?) the models look like models. I am expecting a perfume bottle or another product ad to be revealed on the opposite page. But it's a good concept, she should keep trying.
Yuck. How kitschy.
'fantasy art photography' Or as well call it, horrible kitschy shite.
series of photos lit by a master purported to be done by a photographer with 3 years experience? puleeze.
9/11
90% of these" photos" are photoshop work, not even well done...
