once upon a time

[Izzy Mathie]

Hiya all,
What with so much time on my hands at the moment, I ended up taking a photo today that was based on the fairy tale Sleeping Beauty and started thinking how much there is to play on in fairytales - the classic stories that everybody, almost regardless of geography, knows, in their many variations. From the happy endings to the grim and grotesque, I think it's a really rich area that could spawn some amazing shots...

So, would anyone else be interested in doing a series of fairytale-inspired photos? I'm thinking, say, for the next week? Saturday to Saturday? Or just part of that, whatever you fancy, it's flexible of course. If you like the sound of that let me know, post your photos here and tag them with "fairytale" :) sleep well x

[Brandie]

Ohhh I'll have to do some brainstorming.

[Kate Edwards]

that sounds like a fab idea! i ahve ideas already for it!

[Megan Courtright]

cool idea. I will. Do you want me to post them here?

[Megan Courtright]

My sister has this as a photo. It goes perfect with this.

@izzymathie I'm not sure I can commit to that particular week, but that would be an awesome idea. I have a ton of things zooming around in my head right now. I need more models...

[FaerieMoon]

Okay...for sure, I'm in!!

[Christopher Byrd]

I'm in. I've been wanting to try some themed shots. I have a busy week but will try to come up with something.

[Geertje K.]

Oh, that sounds great, I'll definitely think about it... Is it OK by you if I use this for next weeks selfies challenge? Let's say: theme-fairytale? I'm having trouble thinking about the next theme ;-)

[Mary Thorpe]

ohhh sounds fun- will give it a shot :)

[Sue Wilde]

Busy as everyone else is ...but I'll maybe try for one.

@lolanae @cariadon @megc1 @clarissajohal @meshinka @geertje @mjkthorpe @swilde Brilliant! Really glad this has had enthusiastic replies! Don't worry if you're busy and worried you won't be able to do every day, I was thinking this could be a flexible thing, just something to be inspired by if and when you feel like it :) I'm gonna try and do the whole week but then again I'm on my summer holidays so I've got a crazy amount of time on my hands..
@geertje of course, that sounds good, might join you on that :)
@megc1 love the touch of the red apple... spooky!

[Cherrill]

@clarissajohal When I read this I immediately thought of you! :-) After the amazing Peter Pan series you gave us this seems right up your street! I look forward to the results.

[Megan Courtright]

@izzymathie we painted it.

[Izzy Mathie]

@megc1 It looks wonderful. Would you mind if I used that idea somewhere along the line too? Not exactly the same but involving an apple in some way?

Hansel & Gretel

[Megan Courtright]

@izzymathie that is fine I am sure others will use it as well.
