Foxes are very present in folklore, and are often represented as mysterious, intelligent and trickster creatures. Among the most famous depictions is that of Kitsune, in Japanese folklore, in which the fox is a shapeshifter entity that takes the form of a young woman. In Slavic mythology, foxes are related to Devana, goddess of forests and hunting. She’s married to Veles, god of the underworld, herds, music, trickery and, according to some sources, poisonous mushrooms (come on, I had to mention this!). Devana is portrayed as a rebellious goddess who had an unrestrained love for her freedom, wearing her hair down (which was unacceptable for an unmarried woman). She was always accompanied by a fox or a wolf.

Foxes also play an important role in several fairy tales and fables. I am fascinated by foxes, especially the red ones (Vulpes vulpes), so I took some of these popular stories as inspiration for this photoshoot. When I immerse myself in the forest, walk barefoot and feel the nature around me, I easily dive into the creative process, adding elements of my favorite fairy tales/myths into my photos.

I also wanted to portray the loneliness of a human-fox hybrid that wanders through the forest in order to contrast the loneliness of a human living in a big city to that of a fox in the forest. From my perspective, these environments make us experience loneliness in different ways. For some reason, the loneliness in crowded cities feels much more overwhelming.

Who is a Castlvania fan? I am!

My favorite character is Alucard. The half-human, half-vampire dhampire son of Dracula (Alucard is Dracula spelled backwards). Extremely handsome, stoic, strong and powerful. He used his power to defend humans. His love is quiet and subtle. There are no words for Alucard other than badass. I've always wanted to portray him in a photoshoot.

This photo was taken a year ago. I am heavily backlogged with so many fantasy photos I haven't edited yet. Thanks to my models for being so patient!

"I hope I'm not too late." - Alucard

Just finished reading "The Toad" by Hans Christian Andersen. Anyone else familiar with this piece?

Online description:

"A very exciting story of a little toad, who motivated by the excitement for adventure, leaves his home at the bottom of a well, and his curiosity leads him into some very interesting adventures. He bears inside his head a most precious jewel, the ceaseless longing for a higher experience. In the end he is carried as far up on a stork's mouth as he ever could be. This tale imparts the thought that our finest possession is not what we own, but what we are."

My emotions are quite mixed after reading this piece. There were numerous hidden (and dark) side themes intricately woven into the main story that are worth reflecting upon.

It brought to mind a photo we took in the spring with Ava, featuring a captivating toad statue in a park. Ava shared a story about a toad's poison saving her life. We delved into the realms of a love story between a butterfly fairy and a toad or even a twisted tale where an enchantress turned the toad into a statue out of excessive love.

Regardless of how the photos turned out, the creative process behind them has planted imaginary tales in my mind. I contemplate them. I reflect on them. I hold onto them. They are the remnants of my childhood that will eventually age away forever.

"But the jewel in the head of the Toad? Look for it in the sun; look at it if you can." - The Toad
