DINA GOLDSTEIN Photography

Dina Goldstein gave Disney Princess Fairy Tales a hit of reality with one of her recent projects. Her work here places Fairy Tale characters in modern day scenarios, articulating the conflict of the ‘happily ever after’ concept with realistic and current issues.

Dina said that this project was inspired by her observation of three year old girls, having interest in Disney Fairy Tales. Disney versions almost always have a sad beginning, an overbearing villain and the end is predictably a happy one. Then the Prince saves the day and makes the victimized young beauty into a Princess. “I began to imagine Disney’s perfect Princesses juxtaposed with real issues that were affecting women around me, such as illness, addiction and self-image issues.”
Dina Goldstein’s career in photography has spanned more than a decade. She is an award-winning photographer who has been busy balancing shooting commercial photography with exploring her own artistic endeavours. Her work ranges from numerous editorial covers and features to personal projects such as her work in the Gaza Strip, the acclaimed “Trackrecord” project, and the highly praised David Series.

She has photographed for many magazines and newspapers, as well as advertising and design firms. She has also covered numerous special events. You can see her commercial and events work at www.dinagoldstein.com.
