This modern reinterpretation of Little Red Riding Hood brings a fairy tale to the city. The striking red cape and traditional attire of Little Red are contrasted by the stark, linear urban setting, creating a dynamic visual tension. The figure of the "wolf" stands protectively behind her, blending subtle menace with a sense of mystery.
What I love about this shot is the balance between whimsy and edge. It reimagines a classic story in a fresh, contemporary light, proving that even fairy tales can thrive in the urban jungle.

The project invites you to explore moments like this—fleeting, layered, and deeply human—through the lens of artistry and emotion.
