Fairycore

Fairycore is ethereal fashion in a natural set: sheer layered dresses, wings that catch backlight, flower crowns, body glitter where skin shows. Greens and pastels place the subject inside the forest palette instead of on top of it — the dryad look is full commitment.

Forests an hour before sunset produce the beams this theme is named for; a spray bottle in the air makes them visible. Shoot through leaves for foreground blur. Elf ears cost five dollars and change the whole genre of the photo.
