Head and Shoulders Portraits - Page Two


The Head and Shoulder Portrait.

These are studio portraits that don't fall into the photo-booth category or the Cabinet Card and Cart de Viste category, where the photographer is identified. They have their own pages.

The Photobooth portraits start HERE.
The Cabinet Cards start HERE.
The Cart de Viste pages start HERE.

For this page then, here are the odd format portraits old and recent. Black and white or sepia or color. All of these were done in a studio setting.

THE KIDS Lesson one. It is always a mystery how a photograph of any of these precious children could end up lost or abandoned. Here are a few. You will probably say "Ooh..." at least once.

    These really run the gamut. I'm completely baffled by the silhouette for the 3rd image. Someone actually spent time cutting out that shape. Let's hope they didn't do it for every photo they printed.

    Thanks Tattered and Lost. Well, that mask is a head slapper. It took me a long time to figure that one out. Fold a piece of paper twice, vertically and then horizontally. Make a few snips at the folded corner and unfold. Of course it only has to be cut once then the mask can be used repeatedly. But who'd want to?

    The leaf mask is more complicated. I think a real leaf was used. It would have to be sandwiched in with the contact paper holder and then exposed to the light. Then the negative of the portrait replaces the leaf and it is exposed a second time. After developing, there is a black border around the photograph.

    I did a page on photo-masks a couple years ago. http://lostgallery.blogspot.com/2011/02/back-pages-photo-mask.html
