These are some photographs of your beloved Disney princesses by the Vancouver photographer Dina Goldstein. She brings these perfect Disney cartoon princess into a cruel reality check.







Happily ever after isn't all its cracked up to be for these Disney princesses.





Vancouver based photographer Dina Goldstein's project gives these fairy tale icons a reality check....





...with "happily ever after" being replaced by a brutally realistic outcome, a bald Rapunzel continues her chemotherapy.





Dina was inspired by her three-year-old daughters fascination with Princesses...





...to explore the dark and often gruesome origins of many of these tales in the original Brothers Grimm stories





In a combination of fantasy and reality, she juxtaposed Disney's perfect princesses...





...with real issues that were affecting the women around her





...such as self-image.





The project goes on display on October 15thDina's take on Princess Jasmine





Apparently true love's kiss wasn't enough as a comatose Sleeping Beauty ends up in an old people's home with her aging prince.
