Here are a few more images from Christopher’s Victorian session. How lucky am I to have found someone passionate enough to have a costume like this in South Korea. Like an actor, he was completely submerged into this character, posing and talking, while I could hardly catch up with his on the spot facial expressions and mannerisms. 

Shot with a single flash, shot through a 60′ octagonal softbox. 

Post processed in Lightroom and Picmonkey (dagguereotype is the bomb!)

If you’re interested in one of a kind photography session, similar to this or with our own twist, get in touch!
