    • Trivia
      Edward Hardwicke (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) has played Doyle's Dr. Watson many times.
    • Goofs
      When discussing the original photograph with Beatrice Templeton (Frances Barber), Charles Castle (Toby Stephens) says that the supposed fairy in the image could just be a 'glitch in the emulsion'. The use of the word 'glitch' is anachronistic. Glitch, meaning a small fault, didn't come in to common parlance till the 1960s some 40+ years after the setting of this film.
    • Quotes

      Gardner: Everyone of you here, ladies and gentlemen, has something in common, something that links you to your neighbor. We are all of us searching for a clue that shows us what life truly promises us, for a way of seeing what lies under the simple surface of things. Now recently, we've had continued messages at seances, messages indicating that a visible sign was coming through. Ladies and gentlemen, that sign is here. People talk about the miracle of photography. I'm going to show you a photograph of a miracle.

    I do believe in fairies! I do! I do!
    I was up late one night and this was playing on the Sci-fi channel. I happen to have a fascination with fairies so I figured this would be an interesting film. Indeed I was right The first film I saw pertaining to the story of two young girls photographing fairies was FairyTale: A True Story which was cute but I constantly found myself yawning and wondering when it would end. Photographing Fairies is also about the two girls capturing a fairy in a photograph, but instead of focusing on them the story really revolves around Charles Castle. Toby Stephens (whom most of us know from Die Another Day) plays Castle, a tormented photographer that refuses to do weddings because of a loss he suffered after only one day of being married. He sets out to find the truth, if fairies really do exist, and along the way he ends up discovering a world so precious and sacred that he'd do anything to keep it safe from harm. 8/10
