snow white stills

in keeping with the whole gothic fantasy medieval motif, i loved the look and feel of "snow white and the huntsman", even if the story was a little uneven. whenever i read/see these kinds of stories, it transports me to another world that i so love:

the sets, the scenery, the costumes are amaaaaazing. would love to work on such a story one day in some capacity.

kirsty mitchell

this photographer came out with her work recently. she pulled together a series of fantasy portraits into a book entitled "wonderland", which i can't wait to order. i've always loved stories and art related to anything fantasy, medieval or gothic, so this falls right into my realm.

it took kirsty over five years to shoot these photos, as she pieced together the budget for each photo bit by bit. she did this as an homage to her late mother, who inspired her sense of reality and beauty. love love love it:

p.s. none of these were physically photoshopped in that they are all real locales around her home in surrey, england, with real set pieces. so lovely.
