This is a shoot I've wanted to do for a long long time. Pocahontas is the first project I worked on when I started at Disney in 1994. So it always reminds me of that time in my life and how inspired I was at that young age.
This is the third princess shoot I've done, and the goal for me is always the same.....to make the character from the animated film come to life. I think to myself, "If this character was a living, breathing person, what would she look like?" And I try to make that happen to the best of my limited abilities.
The model's name is Sherri, and I felt she had the right hair, skin tone, facial structure, eyes, lips and physique to make this character come to life. I had the costume made, it is a one of a kind. And luckily, it fit Sherri perfectly. She was very excited to become Pocahontas, and I thought she did a great job. I worked hard on this, and I'm pleased with the results.
Again this is MY vision of this particular Disney Princess.....it may differ from yours.

Beautiful work, Ry. I hope you feel good about this one because it's one of your best. Your interpretations of these characters propel them forward while paying homage to the time and style of their creation. You always respect the source, while giving it your own, singular spin.
With Best Regards,

Ry, let me know when you put your princess book together. I'm ready to buy it. Great Shots!
Nice choice Ry! Sherri looks just like her. The series is looking great. I'm throwing in a vote for Ariel as being the next one. ;)
Pocahontas is one of my favorite Disney characters-I love the way she was designed. (Greg calls her Poca-Hot Ass) Beautiful photo-now how about John Smith?
See ya at work!
