What's inspiring me | Renaissance oil paintings

OTTAWA, ON
Model: Sarah Mohsn
Photography: Willow Lamoureux Photographery

I really want to do more photography like this. I’m still playing around with different edits and such to see where I can take this style of photos. I was inspired by Sandro Botticelli and Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. These are a few of my favorite famous painters. I’ve always loved the moody lighting, blocked colours, and accentuation of the body. I made my images a bit more moody than usual because I love the lighting from romanticism portraits.
Next photoshoot I do in a similar style will have more of a pagan feel like Sandro Botticelli’s “Birth of Venus”. With a flare like Jean-Honoré Fragonard’s “The Swing” Rococo painting.
I’ll be searching far and wide for the perfect models that will suit the look I’m going for. If you have any recommendations, comment below the model’s Instagram or portfolio!
