You have to admire an artist who can take beloved [classic children's stories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/land-of-oz) and add some [dark, macabre humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-death-misfortune-cookies) into the mix. The 'From Enchantment to Down' shoot showcases your favorite [fairytale heroines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gift-happily-ever-after) on their worst day imaginable.

Taken by Thomas Czarnecki, the 'From Enchantment to Down' shoot is more than just an eerie take on these timeless fables, it proves that imaginary characters just can't hack it in our world. There's no enchanted forest here, just the street, and you're going to need more than a little red hood or magic slippers to make it here.

Props to Czarnecki for keepin it real.
