This is a composite (character placed in different background). The subject was actually a steampunk character taken at the Weekend at the Asylum in Lincoln 2014. It was taken in the castle grounds but the background was somewhat cluttered. As he looked like an old time aviator, I dropped in a shot of a Bleriot aircraft taken at a recreation of the English Channel crossing a couple of years earlier. I toned down the background a little to maximise attention on the foreground character.
Taken at the Wymondham Dickensian Steampunk Fayre in November 2013. This is the lead singer of Thy Last Drop who performed in the Market Square. The background was toned down with a little desaturation to minimise the distraction caused by the lady in the backround who was wearing a red raincoat.
Wymondham Dickensian Steampunk Fayre in November 2013. I saw this couple walking in Market Place and asked if I could take their photo. I found a nearby doorway and quickly posed them. To finish the image, I desaturated it a little.
