Fairytales Come To Life In Magical Photos by Russian Photographer Margarita Kareva

ADVERTISEMENT

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”.

I don't think they are representing any specific fairy tale. I think they are just "fairytale-esque" :)

I was lucky to be her model (the 1st pic). She is an amazing person as much as she is an amazing photographer. Happy for Margarita!

Wow! Great! I wonder why the segregation though? Why are there no photos celebrating the beauty of male characters?

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.
