Hello and welcome to Bethany Brynn's Pictorialist Postwork!

Pictorialisim, according to Wikipedia:
Pictorialism largely subscribed to the idea that art photography needed to emulate the painting and etching of the time. Most of these pictures were black & white or sepia-toned. Among the methods used were soft focus, special filters and lens coatings, heavy manipulation in the darkroom, and exotic printing processes. From 1898 rough-surface printing papers were added to the repertoire, to further break up a picture's sharpness. Some artists "etched" the surface of their prints using fine needles. The aim of such techniques was to achieve what the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica termed, in discussing Pictorialism, "personal artistic expression".

Please, have a look around!
Let me show you what your photographs would have been had they been captured many years ago, let me make your imagery ageless!

Background:
By day I am a Digital Archivist, turning antiquated photographs into digital images, however, by night I am a Archaic Digitizist, turning digital photographs into antiquated images.
This duality gives me an intimate knowledge of the subtle distortions displayed as various photographic formats age, not to mention, unrivaled access to real-deal sources of imagery perfect for this process.
I can imitate a wide variety of photographic formats and levels of deterioration
