患有唐氏綜合癥的孩子們擺出迪斯尼卡通人物的姿態(tài)，呼吁人們關(guān)注美麗
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.
每個人都是美麗的，不管他們生下來是誰。這是英國攝影師妮可·路易斯·帕金斯想要與全世界分享的她為唐氏綜合癥兒童舉辦的“打倒迪斯尼”活動的中心思想。
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攝中，帕金斯拍攝了孩子們裝扮成迪士尼電影中的各種角色:從《小美人魚》到《獅子王》等等。在接受Bored Panda的采訪時，帕金斯解釋了這個項目的靈感是什么，為什么它很重要，以及它的意義。
“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.”
“我創(chuàng)作了‘打倒迪斯尼’，因為去年我開始了我的意識/慶?；顒?。我做了一個唐氏綜合癥意識運動‘Down Right Beautiful’，引起了很多人的興趣。”
“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，希望能對初為父母的人有所幫助。隨著我在社交媒體上的粉絲和唐氏綜合癥兒童的父母一起增長，我今年想再次為他們做點什么，這就是《唐氏綜合癥》的由來。我絕對喜歡迪士尼，我知道我并不孤單，所以我覺得這很完美。”

接下來是Bored Panda對珀金斯的采訪，包括她對其他攝影師的建議，以及她對自己職業(yè)的熱情背后的細節(jié)。

攝影師想要提高人們對唐氏綜合癥的認識，同時也想要展示美無處不在。
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.”
據(jù)帕金斯說，“打倒迪斯尼”運動并非沒有挑戰(zhàn)。有些是金融方面的。“最大的挑戰(zhàn)是知道何時停止。我本來可以一直拍這些照片，但是道具和其他一切都太貴了。”
“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.”
“盡管如此，看到我的照片給每個人帶來的快樂還是值得的，”她說她一點也不后悔自己的花費。人們對她的項目的反應(yīng)也讓她又驚又喜。“人們的反應(yīng)太棒了，我從沒想過我會走紅!”這幾個月很瘋狂，但同時也很神奇。”
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.
帕金斯告訴Bored Panda，她從小就喜歡攝影。但她成為一名專業(yè)攝影師的道路漫長而曲折，并幫助她融合了兩種不同的激情。
“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.”
“我一直很喜歡攝影，但我不確定如果我學(xué)了攝影，大學(xué)畢業(yè)后能否馬上找到工作，所以我就去照顧孩子了。”
“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.”
“我上個大學(xué)是在一所特殊需要學(xué)校。它徹底改變了我的生活，我至今還在那里工作，因為我愛上了那些有特殊需要的人。”“我在業(yè)余時間自學(xué)了攝影，并以此開始了自己的事業(yè)。當我對自己的攝影水平感到滿意時，我想我會把我生活中的兩個摯愛放在一起。”
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.”
她給其他可能羞于公開展示自己的作品或不愿做創(chuàng)新項目的攝影師的建議很簡單:“我會說去做吧。”
“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.”
“我花了很長時間試圖像其他人一樣擺出正確的新生兒姿勢，但后來我意識到這并不是我想要的風(fēng)格。所以我停下來，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.”
帕金斯說:“我一直想把我對攝影的熱愛和對那些有特殊需要的人的熱愛結(jié)合起來，當我意識到這是我最擅長的事情的時候，我就這樣做了。”“展示你的工作:人們要么喜歡它，要么不喜歡，只要你對自己誠實就行了。”
