Edgy Victorian Photography

The Olivier 1842 Portfolio Brings Darkness to the 19th Century

If I were born in any other century, my friends and family would say the 1800s would be the perfect fit, and if it were anything like this Olivier 1842 portfolio, I’m totally down with that. Yes, I have a fixation with all things Victorian and when one adds a modern moody twist to it, I become obsessed.

Clearly stylized, the Olivier 1842 portfolio would not have been the same without a littler tampering done. The vivid red creates an eerie focal point that somehow illuminates the entire piece instead of detracting from it.
