In a serenely shot series by Alice Lemarin, sleeping children are pictured taking naps in a variety of outdoor locations. Part of a personal photography project, 'Sleeping' shows a range of young kids in a deep slumber propped up against pillows in a number of different urban settings, from a busy freeway to a street art wall mural. The chosen color palettes, however, are softer in an effort to evoke childlike themes of innocence and dreams.
The whimsical styling adds a visually appealing esthetic to the photos, while pajamas are matched to pillowcases and sleepwear to their surroundings. The overall effect suggests the sleeping children are in fact dreaming of the area around them as all these elements are effortlessly intertwined by the France-based photographer.
