# Knocked Out Fairytales The 'From Enchantment to Down' Shoot Doesn't Have a Happy Ending By Alex Scott | Published 2010-04-05 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/from-enchantment-to-down References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/From-Enchantment-to-Down/473545) & [thomasczarnecki](http://thomasczarnecki.com) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Dark Twist on Classic Fairytales:** Opportunities for artists and designers to create unique, alternative versions of well-known stories that appeal to new audiences. - **Anti-fantasy Photography:** Potential for a new genre of photography that explores the darker side of fantasy and fairytales. - **Real World Adaptations:** Opportunities for writers and filmmakers to explore how classic stories can be retold in ways that resonate with contemporary audiences. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can reimagine classic fairytales to create new revenue streams and gain a following. - **Photography:** Photographers can explore a new genre of anti-fantasy photography that taps into the darker aspects of classic stories. - **Media and Entertainment:** Writers and filmmakers can retell classic stories in ways that are relevant and appealing to modern audiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Storybook-Inspired Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mischief-academy.md) - [Dairytale Bridal Tributes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-wedding-dresses-1.md) - [Villainous Bridal Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allure-bridals-disney-bridal-gowns.md) - [Soft-Colored Disney Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinderella-capsule.md) - [Whimsical Character-Inspired Statement Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldo-x-disney.md) - [Fairytale-Inspired Beauty Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fairytales-collection.md) - [Fairytale Mystery Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-fairytale-files-interactive-murder-mysteries.md) - [Sleep Support Fairy Tales](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleepless-beauty.md) - [Diverse African Doll Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creativesoul.md)
