Once upon a time there was a prince who wanted to marry a princess; but she would have to be a real princess.

In the July issue of Psychology Today, Andrea Bartz' article about highly sensitive people details the condition in which a person's nervous system is set to register stimuli at very low frequency and amplify them internally. In layman's terms, highly sensitive folks' emotions are about as delicate as the princess who felt discomfort from a pea that was hiding underneath her twenty mattresses. Working with this concept, our Fredrik Broden formulated a visual presence for the notion in a beautiful photograph the magazine paired with the article.

Pay close attention to the details of the image. The shadows cast upon the wall, the sense of movement accompanying the mattress patterns, and the raw emotion that pours from the young woman's being, all work together in harmony so as to generate the original concept. Fredrik's unshakable ability to anticipate and capture a wonderful situation in a brief instant proves the artist's determination for immaculate execution.

There, that is a true story.
