The featured The Peculiar Case of Avery's Antlers photo series is a refreshing change from traditional fairytale imagery. Instead of going for the overdone 'Alice in Wonderland' or Disney theme, this photoshoot was inspired by a more obscure children's story written by David Small titled 'Imogene's Antlers.'
Shot and conceived by Nashville-based photographer Lauren Athalia, The Peculiar Case of Avery's Antlers photo series is full of childlike wonder, magic and quirky characters. Model Avery Veteto did a wonderful job embodying the personality of little Imogene. The set design and styling was also done by Athalia, with hair by Lisa Henderson.
Asides from adoring the clever concept behind this series, I also enjoy the dreamlike, vintage-esque finish done on each image. While browsing through the The Peculiar Case of Avery's Antlers photo series, I suggest you read the story as well. Athalia did a fantastic job recreating each scene almost perfectly.
