Gothic Portrait Photography in Columbus, Ohio
Gothic sessions combine cinematic shadow, rich color, romantic styling, and dramatic atmosphere. Your portrait can feel regal, haunted, mysterious, historical, or quietly dark without becoming a costume cliché. Laura designs the lighting and set around your features and the mood you want to create.
Selected gothic gowns, corsets, headpieces, wigs, accessories, and props are available in the studio, with wardrobe options spanning sizes 00–6X. Availability varies by piece and concept, and clients may bring personal clothing or meaningful accessories. Classic and higher packages include one professional hair and makeup service per person, complete posing direction, and professional basic retouching.
