Daniel Spangler _ Pictorialism

I was really intrigued and impressed by the early pictorial photographers at the turn of the century and the ways in which they pushed to make sure that photography was still considered art at a time when it had become so common. The obsession of the masses meant that the elite had to make themselves stand out. They did this through altering the photos in ways that only professionals could manage. I have attempted the same, though anyone with some small experience in Photoshop can accomplish this.
