Petra Collins is a multi-talented artist and director

Shooting since the age of 15, her work is fueled by self-discovery
and a contemporary femininity which explore the complex

off. Collins weaves through the worlds of art, fashion,
film, and music. She is working on her first feature film, set to
shoot in 2021.

direction and design projects. Alexa is currently working on her
first EP, developing and producing film and TV, and engaged in

youth.
"Once upon a time, there was a subversive fashion photographer who
released her book this week…oh, wait! That’s not an actual fairy
tale—but Petra Collins’ visual tome certainly fits the bill.
Created in collaboration with Euphoria star and muse Alexa Demie,
Collins has just dropped “Fairy Tales,” her latest book in the form
of nine erotic short stories based on works by the Brothers Grimm,
Hans Christian Anderson, and more. Both women collaborated on the
text and the visuals, which star Demie as various elves, mermaids,
fairies, and other make-believe creatures in surrealist sets that
blend reality and fantasy." —DAILY FRONT ROW
"[Fairy Tales is] a collaboration with the photographer Petra
Collins -- a body of work that reimagines the female creatures who
inhabit folk- and fairy-tales, who are often cast as
one-dimensional monsters or temptresses. Their recent photo book
"Fairy Tales" features Demie as nine different personas, including
a faerie, siren, banshee and water sprite, as well as Hungarian
legends like Tűz Anya (meaning'fire mother') that Collins grew up
with. It explores the femininity and sexuality of mythological
beings, but in the context of very human spaces, such as teenage
bedrooms, medical facilities, parking lots and exotic dancing
clubs." —CNN
"Newest edition to our coffee table book collection. We are
obsessed." —BELLETRIST
