Snow White Inspiration
Wednesday, October 24, 2012Once upon a time, a queen gave birth to a daughter who has skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood and hair as black as ebony...and she was named Snow White. Isn't it amazing to see fairy tales come to life? And thanks to photographer Neiyo Sun, Snow White indeed came to life.
Neiyo explains, “The theme Snow-White has been playing on my mind for a while and then the two Snow White movies came out this year which gave me even more inspiration for the shoot. When I think of Snow White I think of innocence, beauty, sweetness, apples, red, white, dark hair, softness, woods, forests, lanterns, mirrors and thus these became the essence and elements of this shoot.”
The lovely gown is designed by Anna Campbell. Notice the detail on the top? The beading is so exquisitely done. It compliments the softness of the entire look.
Look at this cake display! Just gorgeous! I can't even choose which one I like most. I love all of them.
Neiyo explains, “After watching Snow White and the huntsman, it gave me a clearer idea of the kind of shoot I was looking for with the messy tangled hair in the woods, yet keeping in balance with Snow White’s beauty, sweetness and innocence. Red and white and mocca are the main colours of the shoot so all the details and settings were bases on this colour scheme such as the cakes were white and we added red details such as red macaroons, red apples and DIY apple candles. I even dyed the model’s hair myself and turned her from a blonde to a brunette with a red tinge. ”
How stunning it is to be Snow White...maybe just remove the eating-the-red-poisonous-apple-part. No wonder she lives happily ever after!
