I’ve been wanting to do a Victorian-style shoot for quite a long time. The pictures you see in this blog post form part of our first shoot in the style. Getting it to work was not just about taking the pictures, but also about the hair, makeup and styling.

I have also done a lot of research in terms of the editing that I wanted to do on these pictures. There are a lot of filters available to get the effect of a painting, but they all looked so amateurish.

I researched different editing methods in this style and I have spent many hours mixing the best of at least three different master photographers. I also added my own practical experience and flair, which I picked up from many years of time in Photoshop.

The final result works for me and will look magnificent when printed on canvas and framed in an antique frame. I will be putting out packages soon. Send me an inbox if you want to do a portrait of yourself in this style!
