Draculaura - Princess Odette

So I have decided to give in my passion and get the Monster High by Mattel dolls. So far, I have a few an I'm just randomly inspired to create photographic projects with them so here is a few of the first serious one !

The Swan Lake!

I always loved this ballet, I seen all the animated versions, I seen a couple of ballet editions (Brittish Ballet, Swedish Ballet, French Ballet, American Ballet, Russian  Ballet !) and I always wanted to shoot the story. I even started to re-write the fairy tale, in a search to find reasons as to the many "why" that were bumping me with question marks.

So first, a little introduction of Draculaura.



Draculaura from the Forbidden Love edition duo pack with Clawd Wolf



First test shot, with my small camera (Canon Powershot SD 3500 IS)



Odette, uncertain about her new shape as a swan, tries to take position to take flight, but it's difficult.



Odette is already a little more confident here, spreading her wings



Finally, she is really ready to face her doubts and fears and try that first flight



Strong and confident



I just love how the light hit her in this shot



I love the fragility she shows in this one. She is lost in her thoughts
