Reniassance - final thought

While i was shooting the renaissance shot, i wanted to have some sort of patterned wallpaper, when i arrived at the models home , there was some yellow colored highly pattered dated wallpaper, which i thought was perfect for this theme.

Model also supplied create clothes, a velvet waistcoat and floaty blouse, and use of a peacock feather prop which i supplied.
By using an image from my mood board for inspiration, we mimicked one of the photographs, with help of an image being in front of her , the model was much more relaxed and at ease.

The sepia tone filter was put on top to create an olden feel, most of the themes after the first couple will be fully colored photographs.

This was also a naturally lit shot.

I decided upon this final shot, with a sepia tone , to create an old looking photograph

Victorian - final thought

While i was shooting the Victorian shot, i wanted to have a plain background , preferably dark, and the only available dark wall was purple.

her make up was to be very pale faced and only have a small bit of lip tint on, but we decided up creating a heart upon the lips, only coloring the central part of the lips for a doll like look.

The corset she was wearing was one i had designed a couple years ago , and her pose WAS supposed to styled to show off her waist, showing it as this as can be. But the corset did not fully accentuate her figure as much as i had hoped. After much debate of which pose to choose as a final, the one that was chosen, did not seem to modern a pose .
I completely darkened the background , demolishing the purple, to create a more dramatic tone, and gave her skin a split tone, making her appear cold and pale, as a corset would have affect of the breathing.

Overall i am very happy with this final image on this theme.
