Once upon a problem

A friend of mine recently participated in a photo shoot with budding photographer Kirstie Jeffrey that explores the pressure college women feel to be perfect, and the toxic results of this quest for perfection. Using Disney's canon of princesses as inspiration for these troubled portraits, Jeffrey created a series of images that are far too close a representation of reality. I was absolutely stunned by the contrast of these photos and just had to share my favorites here. Click over to Kirstie's website for the full project.

 Sleeping Beauty--exhaustion
 Cinderella--drinking problems
 Snow White--low self esteem
 Alice--drug issues
Belle--pressure to be thin
