For her project “Teenage Stories”, photographer Julia Fullerton-Batten placed girls in a model village environment, thereby dwarfing their surroundings. Her project aims to capture their change from relative innocence to a heightened awareness of adult life. To me the familiar settings, yet unusual because of the disproportions, seem to evoke a sort of urban fairytale.

The other projects on her website are worth exploring as well. Julia Fullerton-Batten uses studio lighting to supplement daylight, which gives this kind of weird sensation in all of her pictures.
