Who is the boss in the house - a funny photo project about children and monsters

Every child is afraid of the monsters under the bed that supposedly appear when the lights go out. But now, Paris-based photographer Laura Fauvel is helping kids take on these toothy and creepy monsters. “I wanted to show nightmares from a different angle, where children are fighting their fears and not being victims of them,” says 22-year-old Fovel. Don't worry, no monsters were harmed in the making of this photo shoot.
