This is Hazel who I photographed at Bolero Square, Nottingham, on Saturday.
Bolero Square is a big open space outside the entrance to the Nottingham Arena, where the CosPlay event EmCom was taking place.
I didn’t really get a back story to Hazel, other than she is a CosPlayer and was dressed as
Rapunzel, who appears in Walt Disney Animation Studios' 50th animated feature film Tangled. Rapunzel is a young princess kept unaware of her royal heritage by a vain old woman named Mother Gothel, who raises her in a secluded tower to exploit her hair's healing abilities to remain young and beautiful forever.
Oh and the Frying Pan, I hear you ask? The frying pan helps Rapunzel feel strong and powerful . It's a real confidence booster. The frying pan is also a great hugger. It's one of the things that Rapunzel can always rely on and it helps her stand up to all sorts of people (Wikepedia).
This portrait shot of Hazel is shot with my 50 year old vintage lens, the Jupiter 9, 85mm f2. It is an awesome piece of glass
Beats me! Can't see any frying pan! I know the story of Rapunzel from the Brother's Grimm! She definitely has a wig on!
Oh, I see the frying pan features in the next photo!
