Fashion journalist/stylist-turned-yoga instructor-turned photographer Heidi Lender’s self portrait series “Once Upon” began as a self-imposed weekly photo assignment. The directive — “Stand on a bench. Make sure it’s Monday. Wear something pretty.” — transformed into a “Who am I?” photo-tale. As she examines the characters she becomes depending on what she wears, we peek inside her closet, a colorful, a menagerie of clothes and accessories amassed on her journeys. It’s fashion-meets-decor, which I can’t resist.
