Butterflies are quietly beautiful. They flutter into our sight and take hold of our attention. For a while, we are transferred back in time.
As a child, I made believe that they were magical fairies that could sprinkle glittery fairy powder all over me and take me to a special place where Peter Pan existed.
As much as I’d adored real life butterflies then, the fascination never developed into a full-blown butterfly fashion obsession. I guess, even if they were kind of beautiful, they were still insects. And that was kind of icky.
The butterfly symbolizes the power of air and the ability to float upon a breeze.
The way that it darts from one point of space to another symbolically represents the mind and the ability to change our minds when needed. In fashion photography, butterflies have often been used to complement an imagery or utilized as the primary idea by itself.
