Styling a Waistcoat: Tips for a Chic Summer Look

Dr. Arthur Shidler, c.1885. A recreated Victorian studio portrait, set inside a period doctor’s office, rebuilt and relit from the original image. I used a new lighting and depth pass to add real separation between the subject and the background, restore natural skin tone, and bring back fabric texture in the jacket and waistcoat. The goal was simple. Make the scene feel like a real camera capture from the late 19th century, not a modern edit. #BringingHistoryToLife #VictorianPortrait #PhotoRest
