Fairy Tale by Miwa Yanagi



Thanks to those motherlovers at Disney, people nowadays associate fairy tales with children. Sweet princesses, pink castles and good beating bad. But that was not how fairy tales were written by The Grimm Brothers and Hans Christian Andersen. Those original fairy tales were dark, evil and made children cry! I have these original tales in books, and they really are an amazing read!

Japanese photographer Miwa Yanagi seems to completely understand my frustrations and he made this beautiful series of very dark fairy tale pictures. Many reminding me of excellent Japanese horror movies and the work of Chris Cunningham. I'm a fan!
