Dina Goldstein is a Jewish, Vancouver based photographer. Her Fallen Princess series stages Disney and Fairy Tale princesses focusing on the grimy side of life, depicting woman in various situations including envrionmental disaster, cancer treatment, war, weight gain, overwhelmed motherhood and the price of eternal beauty.
In Ms. Goldstein’s words:
These works place Fairy Tale characters in modern day scenarios. In all of the images the Princess is placed in an environment that articulates her conflict. The ‘happily ever after’ is replaced with a realistic outcome and addresses current issues.

Ahh I've seent hsoe somewhere before but I dodn't know the series were called "Fallen Princess" - very interesting concept!! But very sad too, I hope kids don't get exposed to that too early on lol
what a fabulous concept! and the reality of it is all too real.
I do love these - they are so great.
I loved Michigan! I'd live in GR again if I could - I guess because a lot of my college friends are still there
This is great stuff! Reality check.
fabulous!
Wow. How interesting! This shows a real life spin on the imaginary and unrealistic we grow up hoping to be. I was Belle. Is that her in the last photo? Interesting.
