Real Life Disney Princesses

Finnish designer Jirka Vaatainen has created an amazing photo series of Disney Princesses in real life. The project was completed during his Graphic Design degree at the Art University College at Bournemouth. Using photo manipulation and digital painting, Jirka has envisioned very realistic portraits of Disney's famous female figures.

The finished results are stunning, I love the realistic approach to the photographs yet they still have a magical quality about them. His series is one of the most 'appreciated' on behance and there are many requests for other disney characters online. I would really like to see Merida from Brave, her vibrant red curly hair would make a great image.

Jirka Vaatainen has a passion for many different visuals including graphic design, art and film. You can see more of his work from the links below.
