Brooke B. Old is new again

 For my project I wanted to create a wet plate collodian portrait with a timeless aesthetic, using various brushes/custom brushes, and adjustment layers. This is a self portrait, and the background was previously an image of Abraham Lincoln found from the library of congress, in which I have edited him out. Also used from the library of congress is a small piece from a wet plate you can see on the right side of the portrait. I wanted to portray a fogged look, with smudges and scratches, to mimic a wet plate collodian. I also used accessories (gloves and meshing) to add context to the portrait, and to put myself in a different time era, portraying someone who attended a funeral.
