Fairytale

 Warsaw, July 2023

Isia and I love fantasy, especially everything related to elves, so it was certain that someday we would combine our magical powers and take photos in this theme!

Wings and outfit were made by Isia. She used old curtains for this, which I really like. Anyway, I’m not the only one who was impressed by the styling, because during the photoshoot we were accompanied by numerous children who also wanted a photo with a fairy.

The style of the fairytale photoshoot is governed by its own rules and I personally allow much more Photoshop here than would be comfortable using in a typical portrait session. With Isia’s permission, you can see the “before and after” effect at the bottom of this page. As you can see, the interference in the photo was very large (the psd file has 72 layers!). I knew I didn’t want to change the natural facial features. I focused on changing the lighting and colors, so that the whole thing gained an unreal, fairytale effect.

We can’t wait for autumn and we are already planning the next photos in this place, this time in a warm color palette.
