Cheerless Veiled Photography

Brendan Zhang's 'The Becoming' Photo Series is Very Gothic

'The Becoming' photo series has a very Gothic feel about it. Not only does this have to do with the black, gauzy veil that is present in almost all of the shots, but also with the Victorian edge that is brought about through golden mask accents and skilled post-production.

Photographed by Brendan Zhang, 'The Becoming' photo series is absolutely beautiful at its core. The shoot was assisted by Fariz J.; model Margaret White had her hair and makeup done by Joanna Koh.
