Photographer Thomas Czarnecki’s series about fallen princesses (titled From Enchantment to Down) offers intriguing new possibilities for how classic fairy tales might end. The storybooks all have happy endings, but not so much for these ladies. Czarnecki uses recognizable princesses to create dark and complex narratives within a single frame. With no other images to explain the events leading up to these scenes, the viewer is faced with the question of “what happened to ‘happily ever after?’”

Despite the darkness and mystery of the photographs, there is a sense of eerie humor connected to the demise of these enchanting dames, particularly in the tongue-in-cheek titling: “Just a Trap” (Alice), “Naughty Girl” (Sleeping Beauty), “One Last Wish” (Jasmine), “Not so Romantic” (Beauty and the Beast) and “One More Trophy” (Pocahontas).

I’m trying to be intrigued but I’m too busy laughing about how almost every dead/unconscious princess is in the same ‘I’m unconscious’ pose

Oh my god, they are literally all in the same pose with one shoe off and the other still on or half-on their foot, I am laughing too hard.

^I thought they’d be all dead in creepy ways but they’ve literally fallen oh my god

this is too funny, sdhfjksdfhkdhfskd

Where’s the gore? The blood-spatter? The torn skirts? The semen stains? It would be far more effective if Cinderella was lying in a pool of her own blood, Little Red Riding Hood had nasty scratch marks on her legs, and Beauty some dark bruises.
