As Cinderella is usually seen as a Disney princess, I decided that I wanted to portray the working world of Cinderella in her rags rather than her riches. I began by using the model to do everyday housework and jobs and photographed the various stages. This worked well due to the lovely natural sunlight both outside and streaming in through the kitchen window.
To modernise the story further, I used a bed-time slipper to try on instead of a glass heel as the word has a few meanings. In the original story, her step-sisters try on the slipper by cutting off parts of their feet such as toes and heels in order to get to the prince, but with a bed-time slipper, the sizes can be very vague and not made to fit, meaning that it could belong to anyone, showing the impossibility of finding someone by just having their shoe left behind.
