One of the inspirations is a photography studio in China called 三春山奈. Their photos have a similar design I want to replicate with feeling of sadness balanced with elegancy. They have a detailed description of how to take the photos with a lot of different examples. Many of the photos from my mood board came from them. Their photos include the type of hanfu i want my model to wear as well as the props and background that will be used.  I have also found inspirational images of textures and and still life scenes that emphasize the kind of quiet atmosphere I want to achieve in my portraits. I want to play with light to give the viewer a feeling of mystery as well as isolation.
