A Pre-Raphaelite session with Frederick Dunn is not a standard portrait appointment; it is a collaborative creation of a fine-art relic. We move away from the "bright and airy" modern aesthetic and toward the shadows, textures, and heavy emotions of 19th-century Romanticism.
We focus on Pathos: We embrace the beauty of melancholy, longing, and stillness.
Nature as a Witness: Expect to be immersed in the landscape- reeds, water, tangled brush, and the "wild" elements of the earth.
The Muddled Focus: We utilize long exposures and optical "imperfections" to create a spectral, painterly feel.
Image:
The very instant the shutter closes and the image is stored...
What is captured, is the past.
A photo will never forget and fails to judge or discriminate against the subject
As you are now, in this moment, you will never be again...
