I Capture Disney Princesses That Don’t Need Princes

ADVERTISEMENT

My name is Lance Reis and I am a portrait and creative art photographer based in Portland, Oregon. For my shoots, I bring my subjects to life with a mixture of natural light and creative cinematic concepts. For me, the most important elements of my shoots are the connection I make with my subjects and the ability to make anyone feel comfortable in front of the lens. I met Jordan & Viviana on Instagram and we instantly knew we had to shoot together.

So I flew to Tampa Florida from Portland and we shot various concepts but this was my favorite one. I’ve shot a lot of cosplay and I’ve always thought it would be fun to shoot a concept showing a side of the classic Disney princess we never get to see. It’s always the same role “damsel in distress waiting for the prince to come to save her” well it’s 2019 and women don’t sit around waiting for a man to come save them. Not every princess needs a prince. Love is love & I wanted to show that in a creative way. Here are 2 other Disney shoots I’ve done – Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty.

If you enjoy this set make sure to check out my Instagram where you will find all kinds of cosplay and creative concepts based on social issues from depression, addiction, PTSD, domestic abuse, and bullying.

So you paid two women to dress seductively covered them in thick makeup and had them kiss honestly this looks alot more like lesbian porn based on male fantasy. They are very pretty pictures though that's just honestly what I thought of when I saw it

Is the message: A woman that doesn't need a man is a lesbian? Coz that's not empowering for hetero women or lesbians. Surely a woman fighting a dragon or hacking through thorns whilst on horseback, basically rescuing herself is the imagine that's needed to show princesses that don't need men.
