10 impressive images of African princesses

There is a popular belief that princesses should have a puppet appearance and be sure to dress in puffy dresses embroidered with semi-precious stones. That is why the photographer, who has lived in South Africa for most of his life, decided to dispel all the myths and illusions in this regard. The author created a photo project consisting of portraits of fictional African princesses. For each of the heroines, he came up with not only an individual image, but also a legend.

“The Nkosozana photo project is an amazing world of fictional African princesses, in which ordinary girls (not professional models) with a bright, specific appearance took part. For each of them, together with stylists and make-up artists, I came up with a unique image and story that ideally suited the heroines. I filmed all this. Thanks to the slight imperfection of film photography, combined with eye-catching details and unusual outfits, all images turned out to be quite realistic ... ”writes photographer Dylan Davies on his blog.
