I’d been wanting to offer this style for some time<\/p>\n

For me, a silhouette portrait is incredibly beautiful in its simplicity.<\/p>\n

The word “silhouette” derives from the name of\u00a0<\/em>\u00c9tienne de Silhouette<\/em><\/a>, a French\u00a0<\/em>finance minister<\/em><\/a>\u00a0who, in 1759, was forced by France’s<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>credit crisis during the\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Seven Years War<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to impose severe economic demands upon the French people, particularly the wealthy.<\/em>[2]<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0Because of de Silhouette’s austere economies, his name became eponymous with anything done or made cheaply and so with these outline portraits.<\/em>[3]<\/sup><\/a>[4]<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0Prior to the advent of photography, silhouette profiles cut from black card were the cheapest way of recording a person’s appearance.<\/em>[5]<\/sup><\/a>[6]<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0ref wikipedia.org<\/sup><\/em><\/p>\n

I found it rather apt to be introduce\u00a0this style during our own world credit crisis that started in\u00a02009!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I imagine these photos printed\u00a0to\u00a0fine art paper, with its archival qualities, framed beautifully, to be cherished for years to come.<\/p>\n
