Sinister fauna Doing animals again after Chimerical? Yes. Because this time we're cutting out all the sweetness, the fuzziness of faux fur, the joy of ostrich and peacock feather fans. Yes, we will wrap you into luxurious costumes made of faux fur, ostrich and peacock feathers, but this time our black cats are there to help witches, our hounds are howling wolves, our ravens are there to gather souls after battles. We will pick the animal for you, as we know the available costumes and can decide which can fith both you and the concept at the best. Ready to trust us and be transformed? Not much time left: hurry up, message us! #gothicmakeup #gothicfashion #gothicbeauty #darksurrealism #darksurreal #darkportrait #gothicart #darkbeauty #esteticagotica #gotico #truccogotico #gothicstyle #noirportrait #creaturefotografiche #manipolazionedigitale

Eerie flowers Probably the most feminine of the choices we give you. But fear not, you gothic souls: our roses have thorns, our captivating petals are poisonous, our vines can strangle you to death or make you slip into a never ending sleep. Dream of the languid belladonna pupils? Of the wild colors of poisonous mushrooms, the treacherous nature of carnivorous plants? This is the theme for you. Grimilde will pick a dress to perfectly combine to your provided measurements, and you will be styled to bring the flora element to life, as something that fully belongs to Cunene's oniric world. Interested in becoming our gothic, victorian, or dreamy poison ivy? Don't hesitate to message us: not much time remains! #surrealphotography #surrealportrait #dreamphotography #etherealportrait #surrealismart #fineartportrait #portraitart #photoartistry #ritrattosurreale #fotografiadartistica #ritrattodautore #digitalmanipulation #dreamlike #otherworldlyportrait #sognoartistico

Dearly departed Becoming undead will be one of the themes this time: we shall bring to life forgotten souls, ghosts, and creatures who have returned from beyond. But these are no ordinary spirits: our undead are elegant and full of presence, their grace and splendour untouched by death. Over the years, Cunene has refined her skills to give each of these charactera a carefully crafted, haunting beauty that has become part of her signature photographic style. Choosing this theme allows you to wear a historically inspired piece chosen to flatter your unique shape, and be transformed into one of these extraordinary undead beings.

Why join Dreamorphosing? Because outside this frame, it’s not easy to bring together everything that happens here: photography, costumes, styling, and atmosphere. We don’t live far, but not close either, and moving an entire creative setup is a gargantuan challenge. That’s why this gathering allows several characters to take life in the same place and time, making it possible for everyone to take part more easily. But beyond that… when two like-minded dreamers work together, something happens: ideas flow faster, visions grow wider, and the results go beyond what either could imagine alone. If you’re curious about the December edition, you can find more in the other posts or reach out quietly for a chat. #surrealphotography #surrealportrait #dreamphotography #etherealportrait #surrealismart #fineartportrait #portraitart #photoartistry #ritrattosurreale #fotografiadartistica #ritrattodautore #digitalmanipulation #dreamlike #otherworldlyportrait #sognoartistico

Why Grimilde? Over more than a decade, Grimilde has given life to a quite impressive personal wardrobe that becomes available to you during the process. Inspired by both history, fantasy, sci-fi and horror, they give life to a parallel world. With their proportions, luxurious materials, studied colors and detailed textures, they manage to bring characters to life though you, and to elevate the wearer. Hand dyed silks, vintage and meticulously shaped historical corsetry are what make many of these pieces impossible to resist. She's very jealous of those garments, and it's very unlikely that you'll get to wear them elsewhere. If you want to wear one, send us a DM! #historicalcostume #historicalfashion #periodcostume #fantasycostume #costumedesigner #customcostumes #costumistori #abitiantichi #costumistorici #storicocouture #costumemaking #atelierdautore #abitiottocento #cappellieria #handmadecostume

Why Cunene? What makes Dreamorphosing special is the hands and eyes that bring it to life. Cunene is an artist who has been shaping imaginary worlds since childhood. Before she ever picked up a camera, she drew, painted, sewed, sculpted, learning to give form to what doesn’t exist.And year after year, skill after skill, she shaped her own oniric world and aesthetic taste, something that makes her work stand out and look personal.  Her background in psychology gives her portraits depth: as all good portraitists, she does not just reflect the outside, she manages to capture what goes on behind the eyes.  Interested in being portrayed like this? We're waiting for you: send us a message! #surrealphotography #surrealportrait #dreamphotography #etherealportrait #surrealismart #fineartportrait #portraitart #photoartistry #ritrattosurreale #fotografiadartistica #ritrattodautore #digitalmanipulation #dreamlike #otherworldlyportrait #sognoartistico

What do people say about Dreamorphosing? Many of them come back year after year, which always feels like the best compliment to us both. Some told us they had no idea they could look that majestic when supported by people who see their potential. Others said they finally recognized on the outside what they had always felt within. Some felt brave. Others powerful. After seven editions, the journey has shaped us too, and every time we present an improved version of the experience. If you’re curious to know more, there’s a bit about it in the other posts — or you can always reach out quietly for a chat. #gothicmakeup #gothicfashion #gothicbeauty #darksurrealism #darksurreal #darkportrait #gothicart #darkbeauty #esteticagotica #gotico #truccogotico #gothicstyle #noirportrait #creaturefotografiche #manipolazionedigitale

"Do I need to have any modeling experience to join Dreamorphosing?" Not at all! Dreamorphosing is about expression, not experience. We spend the day creating together, we cater all the details to the subject and the theme: exploring styles, choosing outfits, guiding you into gestures to tell a story. It’s a space where you can simply enjoy being part of something beautiful, and feel fully supported from the first idea to the last photograph. If this sounds like something you’d love to experience, have a look at the other posts to see what’s coming next, or write us a message to learn more! #surrealphotography #surrealportrait #dreamphotography #etherealportrait #surrealismart #fineartportrait #portraitart #photoartistry #ritrattosurreale #fotografiadartistica #ritrattodautore #digitalmanipulation #dreamlike #otherworldlyportrait #sognoartistico
