Emma, Lady Hamilton

It's been a while since I uploaded any of my photography work, don't know why, guess I just forgot about it. Well I have remembered it now. This is another of my recreations of a portrait of Emma, Lady Hamilton, painted by George Romney. I didn't know much about Lady Hamilton when I decided to do the recreation but I have just discovered she was the mistress of Horatio Nelson, who knew, right. Clearly not me. Granted they are not that accurate but I got carried away with how beautiful Georgina looked I just started doing my own thing instead.

  1. Nice work, and she definately is reminiscent of Lady Hamilton. Have you read about Lady Hamilton's mimeoplastic work ??? This lovely young model would be a good candidate to try to recreate some of that work on film rather than paint.

    Interesting lighting choice on the fourth one... not quite stark lighting, but definitely a bolder lighting choice. I didn't like it wehn I first saw it, but the more I see it the more I like it.
