Abstract

Hans Christian Anderson is one of the most beloved children’s writers of all times. His stories have symbolic and often religious meaning, unfortunately because of the length and language of them many go unnoticed by children and adults. Photography is a powerful media of communication. Very rarely is it used to illustrate children’s stories. For this project I wanted to rewrite one of Hans Christian Anderson’s stories and illustrate it with photographs. I chose the story, “The Bog King’s Daughter”. “The Bog King’s Daughter is about a daughter’s love for her dying father, how her love for him leads her to the other end of the world, where she bears a child whose conversion to Christ and love becomes the cure for her grandfather.
