Portrait Photography (Fantasy)

One of the styles I could, and probably will, experiment with is that of the portrait. In a 'Fantasy' genre, many things can be done, and the genre itself can be interpreted in many different ways. One of the most common interpretations of this genre is 'Medieval Fantasy', consisting of things such as knights in armor, fairies, mermaids, dragons, angels, et cetera. Of course, these things can be seen in other interpretations of the genre, but they are conventional aspects of 'Medieval Fantasy'.

A good way to "show off" these characters is to isolate them and focus on their image, separated from the rest of their fantasy world. Portraits are an effective and well--suited way of accomplishing this.

Here are some professional examples I found whilst researching photography of this genre:
