entry description
In this series of portraits, the viewer is transported back to an imagined past. I shoot using classical cinematic and photographic lighting techniques. My intention with these studio portraits is for the viewer to be transported back through periods of history, establishing a direct line from our past that runs from our contemporary culture, back all the way to the Old World. My primary inspirations here - are Dickensian Victorian England, the cinematic Film Noir stylings of 1930 - 1950 only in colour , and the golden age of Renaissance paintersabout the photographer
