rather than depicting present reality, photographer amy troost strokes the creative brush across our imagined ideas of what royalty is & what it can be. along w/alastair mckimm’s styling (mingling ancient kingdoms from throughout history w/fairytales), born are the warrior queens who rule w/an iron fist — royalty of the future, perhaps?
