The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood photo series takes inspiration from my favorite [fairy tale](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gift-happily-ever-after) of all time -- and does it complete justice. Simple and sweet, I love the contrast between the [porcelain doll-like model](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/viktorrolf-x-disney) against the dark bed of [fallen leaves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinterest-autumnwinter).

Photographed by Brendan Zhang, The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood photo series not only features a beautiful model and great backdrop, it also shows amazing composition and lighting. I only wish there were more images from this portfolio. I guess I'll just have to satisfy myself by looping through the gallery above, as you will probably do as well.
