I got an email from this guy who wanted to have a Sherlock Holmes -themed photoshoot as a surprise present for his girlfriend. This kind of themed photoshoots are my favorites, so it was easy to get me interested and planning how we can make it happen.

Firstly, I booked my talented friend and stylist Kiki Kameleontti to do the styling, hair and makeup. Together we listed some of the props we would like to have in the images and figured out that we could borrow most of the props from the local theater.

After hoarding the theater storage and some closets, we were all set for an amazing photoshoot. It was certainly worth all the effort seeing the surprised faces of the couple as they saw the costumes and props at our studio.

After the photoshoot it was the time to choose the right photos and retouch them to look like they actually were from the era of the Sherlock Holmes. As a result I made a series of three images, all with their own story and style.

Yet another happy client with some amazing images to show the world! And what an excellent present idea for anyone!
