Delightfully Unsettling Portrait Photos Inspired by Renaissance Portraiture

Tagliavini spent six months painstakingly handcrafting all the costumes, including the rather elaborate hats. The models’ curiously long necks were achieved through deft photo manipulation. We previously posted about the photographer’s cardboard fashion photos.
