once upon a murder

And so wraps up my interesting first year of university life, more specifically as an art student majoring in photography. I may or may not go back to it, but I present here my final production series. Shot on large format 4x5 film, I explored quite simply a series of homicides involving familiar fairy tales.

I was inspired by my interests: love for props, fairytales, murder mysteries and Criminal Minds. Offering you a glimpse into five separate, but related, crime scenes, the photos take on the original dark nature of fairytales.


No Princess and No Pea


Hansel and Gretel Meet a Sweet Demise


Cinderella's Murder After


Run, Little Red, Run


Goldi without her Locks


A VERY SPECIAL THANKS TO:
Michelle, who was an amazing assistant and model
OSAP, for providing the funds for me to purchase all these things
Oakville, for providing such an amazing location
Some guy on craigslist, who sold me his mattress
The police officer who pulled up, concerned by our 401 mattress mishap
My classmates, who I cried and whined to about the assignment and helped me decide things
Mother nature, for offering the amazing weather during the Easter weekend (except for that bit of rain)
Toronto Image Works, for messing up my film. I am willing to move past it.
