Disney’s Aladdin – Jasmine Adult Costume
Ryan Astamendi is a professional photographer with an extensive portfolio of work.
One thing that he is becoming known for is his ability to recreate classic Disney Princess animated characters and turn them into real-life models.
Take, for example, the above stock advertising photo for a Jasmine costume from Disney’s Aladdin. There’s nothing wrong with the photo or the model – it’s doing exactly what the marketing department requested. If you’re looking for a costume, it’s perfectly adequate… but if you’re looking for the “essence” of the character, you have to look elsewhere.
That’s why what Ryan does is much, much more than just take a photo or two.
