Read about a team of photographers from Atlanta that reimagined Disney princesses in a powerful series of photoshoots aimed to empower black girls and provide long-overdue representation.
Today Parents. “Traditionally, little girls want to be the princesses, but they didn’t see themselves represented. After all these years, there’s just one black Disney princess—Tiana from ‘The Princess and the Frog.’”
What makes the Bethencourts’ shoot so unique and individual is the creative freedom they utilized with their hair and wardrobe, she told the outlet. When the Bethencourts first started working as photographers 11 years ago, with a focus on kids and the kids’ fashion industry, they noticed two things right away: a lack of diversity and a constant repression of showcasing natural hair.
“They thought that’s what their hair needed to look like to get into the fashion industry,” Kahran told the outlet. The duo made it their mission to “showcase under-celebrated beauty,” especially in Black children. Kahran noted that the children are often surprised to see themselves in pictures. "They are often super shocked. You can see their confidence growing, which is my favorite part. They often come in a little shy or nervous, and once they see themselves, a lightbulb goes off,” she said. “It’s important for kids to be able to see themselves accurately represented in the media and in a different way than some of the stereotypes that have been hanging around in the media for years.
