Lost, Frightened and Alone in Woods by alophoto

Lost, Frightened and Alone in Woods

The huntsmen couldn't do it. He simply could not kill an innocent child. He told Snow White the queen's evil desires and told her to stay far away from the kingdom, never return to the castle again.

And then he left the poor frightened girl and headed back to the castle himself, hoping that an animal's heart in the box would satisfy and trick the wicked queen.

Alone and terrified, Snow White set out to find some food and shelter in the spooky, misty woods. The branches seemed to be reaching right out to grab her and it took all her power to will her legs to keep walking and to not just collapse to the ground and cry.

What would become of her? And what was she going to eat for dinner? Lunch was hours ago.

Mad Hatters are telling the story of Snow White this week. I started it out with the evil queen scene on Monday and Edie had an awesome shot of Snow going off into the woods with the huntsman yesterday. This is the next part and Jeff will tell more today. Check it out at @madhatters. Also, play along and tag your Snow White shots this week with madhatters-snowwhite.
Such a super composition. Has to be a FAV.

You must have fun staging these. The woods look wonderful.
March 19th, 2014  
So cool, love the frightened look, brilliant staging and styling. Fab shot and story!
March 19th, 2014  
The pov and composition really highlight how small and vulnerable Snow White is. Great job.

@fueast I love that this is my backyard. It was a super quick shoot while my daughter was watching cartoons. Thus the legs chopped off.

@thresheg Thank you so much for that, Graham!!

@kerristephens Thanks, Kerri.

@m9f9l You rock, Mary. Thank you!!!

@roseolivia Thanks, Rachel. I just had to wear the red hood again:).

@dh Love your description, Delena. Thank you!

Brilliant Amanda, I love your comp with the pop of colour (i.e. you) at the bottom. Your creativity always makes me smile :)

Another winner! How much time to you spend a day doing photography??
March 19th, 2014  
This is fabulous!!
March 19th, 2014  
Can't believe this was a super quick shot in your backyard! It looks like you are really out in the woods somewhere and the branches ARE reaching out for you! Perfect and I am loving this theme! Fav for sure!!!
March 19th, 2014  
This is amazing, but I am very fearful for snow white as she looks like she is about to be trodden on by a stone giant! Watch out!!!!!
March 19th, 2014  
Lovely light in this. Has Snow White stolen Little Red Riding Hood's cloak?
March 19th, 2014  
Really love the sense of scale here - you do look overwhelmed and terrified!
March 19th, 2014  
Great shot, and you really do look scared! Awesome. I agree with what @archaeofrog said, too. Nice sense of scale.
March 19th, 2014  
Awesome scale!

@kwind This was a 15 minute slap job. I often don't spend time daily and hadn't shot anything since last weekend, but I did spend a bit of time processing this one.

@wannabe Aw, thanks so much, lady! Really appreciate that!

@rachelwithey Yes, it felt so good to put it back on. I reborrowed it from my friend for the queen shoot and thought it would work for Snow, too.

@archaeofrog Must say that I was annoyed that my legs didn't make it in the shot, but it did make me look smaller, I guess. Thanks!

Very cool composition of your creative mind. Were you in the drama class in HS?
March 20th, 2014  
oooh! very nicely done... really like the pov for this composition!
March 20th, 2014  
Wonderful use of light and shadow to give a scary feeling. Fun foto.
March 20th, 2014

March 20th, 2014  
wonderful story in the photo, and great POV
March 20th, 2014  
Really great work, looks very real and the expression is priceless.

@anazad511 I was in chorus so performed a bunch with that and drama for just on year. Was only in one play in high school and had only a couple bit parts (of which I made the very most off and went a bit over the top). Like I had a southern accent for an orphan girl in NYC. Wished I had done more with it and am looking into getting involved with a local theater here.
March 20th, 2014  
Great shot! Just the right feel to it! How did you make this shot, I wonder?
March 20th, 2014  
@stimuloog Just went out in my backward for a few minutes in the drizzling rain, shot this with me down a hill in the woods and edited. I wished I hadn't missed my legs in the shot but did it quick and had to get back in from the rain and to my little one.
March 20th, 2014  
@stimuloog That's backyard:). Not ward. Tired.
March 20th, 2014  
Wonderful!! Amanda!!
March 20th, 2014  
Fantastic. I love how small and scared you look xx
