this one gave me chills! its so beautiful and i love the use of the ocean in the background
Yah! The way it blends into the dress is so creative

Load More Replies...These are (rather enormous) blue rhododendrons. Rhododendrons normally come in white, pink and reddish shades, but there are some blue varieties as well.
Load More Replies...I really want a quality print of this one. It is so beautiful and evokes a sense of escape.
yes these are kind of paintings when they paint in photoshop, manipulate original images. Graphics, it goes category gra-fixs, not photographs. True photographer doesent manipulate images but everything in stage set is make for 1/120 second when PHOTO is made.

It looks like underwater coral reef... or it looks like it's underwater but flowers are growing in the bottom...
The white hair is disconcerting in this photo for some reason.

I was thinking Queen Maeve, Bridgite or Boudicca...but Norse works too.

Red Rose, sister to Snow White. (Old folk tale, not the fairy tale.)
I love the costumes, the photography and the sheer artistic beauty of the women in the pictures. I worship these goddesses.
Technically very well done. My only criticism is that, like almost all shoots like this, the girls look dead. The models are never instructed to "show" anything. It leaves these otherwise gorgeous shots rather lifeless. Are any of these characters supposed to be happy, sad, pensive, strong, vulnerable, mischievous, playful?
"Three day old corpse" and " angst- ridden constipation " seem to be the only acceptable expressions in these kinds of photos.
Load More Replies...“Like No One Else” That's BS. I have seen the same kind of photos from dozens of other photographers.
Interesting photos, but where are the women of color? That's my take on the photos!!!
That's in a different post (said sarcastically). But there is a similar post full of women of color that are gorgeous (AND they were allowed expressions). Title is something about their hair being natural. I agree, I'd like to see more diversity in our fairy tales. Looking forward to "A Wrinkle In Time"!
Load More Replies...It does look incredible, but i often dislike the excessive use of photoshop. The photo does not make the impression that this how you would see it if you were there. I understand that it was not the intention of the photographer to make the pictures as realistic as possible, but as magical as possible. But maybe photographer could make two version of their photos - one that looks as they want it to look and one as it looked like in reality. I gues in the most case I would prefer the latter, although they will often look less impressive.
I think 🤔 the photographer has done a great job. He/she has some special skills that sets them apart from others. Once again great job and thanks for sharing the photos
