患有唐氏综合症的孩子们摆出迪斯尼卡通人物的姿态，呼吁人们关注美丽

Everyone is beautiful, no matter whom they were born as. This is the central idea that British photographer Nicole Louise Perkins wants to share with the world with her amazing ‘Down With Disney’ campaign that celebrates children who have Down Syndrome.

每个人都是美丽的，不管他们生下来是谁。这是英国摄影师妮可·路易斯·帕金斯想要与全世界分享的她为唐氏综合症儿童举办的“打倒迪斯尼”活动的中心思想。

During a series of fabulous photo shoots, Perkins took pictures of kids dressed as various characters from Disney movies: from ‘The Little Mermaid’ to ‘The Lion King’ and more. In an interview with Bored Panda, Perkins explained what the inspiration for the project was, why it was important, and what it means.

在一系列精彩的照片拍摄中，帕金斯拍摄了孩子们装扮成迪士尼电影中的各种角色:从《小美人鱼》到《狮子王》等等。在接受Bored Panda的采访时，帕金斯解释了这个项目的灵感是什么，为什么它很重要，以及它的意义。

“I created ‘Down With Disney’ because last year I began my awareness/celebration campaigns. I had done a Down Syndrome awareness campaign ‘Down Right Beautiful’ and it got a lot of interest.”

“我创作了‘打倒迪斯尼’，因为去年我开始了我的意识/庆祝活动。我做了一个唐氏综合症意识运动‘Down Right Beautiful’，引起了很多人的兴趣。”

“It was full of information that would hopefully help new parents. As my following on social media grew with parents of children with Down Syndrome, I wanted to do something for them again this year which is where ‘Down With Disney’ came from. I absolutely love Disney and I know I am not alone, so I thought this would be perfect.”

“里面有很多信息，希望能对初为父母的人有所帮助。随着我在社交媒体上的粉丝和唐氏综合症儿童的父母一起增长，我今年想再次为他们做点什么，这就是《唐氏综合症》的由来。我绝对喜欢迪士尼，我知道我并不孤单，所以我觉得这很完美。”

The photographer wants to raise awareness about Down Syndrome, as well as show that beauty can be found everywhere.

摄影师想要提高人们对唐氏综合症的认识，同时也想要展示美无处不在。

According to Perkins, the ‘Down With Disney’ campaign wasn’t without its challenges. Some of them were financial. “The greatest challenge was knowing when to stop. I could have gone on forever with these photo shoots but the props and everything is just so expensive.”

据帕金斯说，“打倒迪斯尼”运动并非没有挑战。有些是金融方面的。“最大的挑战是知道何时停止。我本来可以一直拍这些照片，但是道具和其他一切都太贵了。”

“Well worth it though to see the joy my images have brought to everyone,” she said that she doesn’t regret the expenses one bit. She’s also pleasantly surprised by the reaction that people have had to her project. “The reaction has been amazing I never imagined I would go viral! It’s been a crazy few months but absolutely amazing at the same time.”

“尽管如此，看到我的照片给每个人带来的快乐还是值得的，”她说她一点也不后悔自己的花费。人们对她的项目的反应也让她又惊又喜。“人们的反应太棒了，我从没想过我会走红!”这几个月很疯狂，但同时也很神奇。”

Perkins told Bored Panda that she has loved photography ever since she was little. But her path to becoming a professional photographer was long, winding, and helped her merge two different passions.

帕金斯告诉Bored Panda，她从小就喜欢摄影。但她成为一名专业摄影师的道路漫长而曲折，并帮助她融合了两种不同的激情。

“I’ve always loved photography, but I wasn’t sure I would be able to get a job straight away after college if I studied it, so I did childcare instead.”

“我一直很喜欢摄影，但我不确定如果我学了摄影，大学毕业后能否马上找到工作，所以我就去照顾孩子了。”

“My last placement at college was in a special needs school. It seriously changed my life, I still work there to this day due to falling in love with people who have special needs,” she explained. “I taught myself photography on the side and started up my own business with that. When I was happy with where I was photography-wise, I thought I would put my two loves in life together.”

“我上个大学是在一所特殊需要学校。它彻底改变了我的生活，我至今还在那里工作，因为我爱上了那些有特殊需要的人。”“我在业余时间自学了摄影，并以此开始了自己的事业。当我对自己的摄影水平感到满意时，我想我会把我生活中的两个挚爱放在一起。”

Her advice to other photographers who might be too shy to show their work publicly or to do projects that go outside the box was simple: “I would say go for it.”

她给其他可能羞于公开展示自己的作品或不愿做创新项目的摄影师的建议很简单:“我会说去做吧。”

“I spent a very long time trying to be like everyone else getting those newborn poses right, but then I realized that it just wasn’t the style I wanted to do. So I stopped and done them my way instead.”

“我花了很长时间试图像其他人一样摆出正确的新生儿姿势，但后来我意识到这并不是我想要的风格。所以我停下来，用我自己的方式去做。”

“I have always wanted to put my love for photography with my love for people with special needs and the day I did that was when I realized this is what I am best at,” Perkins noted. “Show off your work: people will either like it or they won’t, it doesn’t matter as long as you have been true to yourself.”

帕金斯说:“我一直想把我对摄影的热爱和对那些有特殊需要的人的热爱结合起来，当我意识到这是我最擅长的事情的时候，我就这样做了。”“展示你的工作:人们要么喜欢它，要么不喜欢，只要你对自己诚实就行了。”
