Photographing two bored sisters in a castle

A period-drama story told in ivory lace: one sister in a high-neck Victorian blouse and antique gold pendant, the other in a puff-sleeved lace gown. Slow afternoons by the window, in doorways and under a glasshouse roof.

The first sister

Curly-haired woman in a lace blouse, chin on her fist, gazing away Close portrait, hand resting against her cheek Seated with an arm draped over a cane-back chair
Standing in a white doorframe against a dark interior, looking aside
Outdoor portrait over the shoulder, soft green background Detail of the antique gold pendant on the lace high neck Looking up into the light, curls pinned in a low bun
Framed in a dark doorway, hands folded at the waist Full-length in the doorway, hands behind her back Peering from behind a white door, hand on the frame Half-hidden in the gap of a doorway
02

The second sister

Portrait in a puff-sleeved lace dress, hands on hips, dappled light Stepping out of a white doorway between two lanterns Shading her eyes from the sun with one hand Seated at a table by the window, head resting on her hand Seated at the table, hands folded, looking away Close portrait, hands at her temple, looking up
Twirling the lace skirt in a glasshouse café Standing tall, hands on hips, in the glasshouse One arm raised to the light under the glass roof Hands clasped at the waist, facing the camera

Together

The sisters seated side by side beneath a gilt-framed painting of hunting dogs One sister leans an arm on the other's shoulder, both with hands on hips
Close portrait: one sister in front, the other behind her, looking down
One sister tucks a white rose into the other's hair The roles reversed: pinning a white rose into curls as she sits, bored
