Real Life Disney Princesses.
It’s the childhood dream of many girls to become a Disney princess… and now photographer Ryan Astamendi is giving a few grown women the chance. His series of surprisingly accurate photographs puts models into pitch perfect costume, makeup and hair to create what looks like the movie screen come to life. As you can see in the photographs, the models vary in their real-life likeness to the characters, proving that Astamendi is skillful at creating the look he desires.
Astamendi talk about the sleeping beauty photo shoot, “I put between 30 and 40 hours of work into this, which seems to be the norm for these Disney character projects.” What really surprised him about the project? The models name was actually… Princess. What’s next in the series? He’s currently finishing up work on Rapunzel. Be sure to check out his website RyPhoto for future updates or see the the book The Art of the Disney Princess which features his work. And one more thing: not every girl wants to be a princess… so we included Astamendi’s stunning rendition of the seductive Jessica Rabbit.
Such beautiful women, my faves photos are Pocahontas, Rapunzel and Jessica.
These are amazing! I love them. The women are so beautiful.
