Dublin Studios for 'Old' 19th Century Family Photos

EGOSHEA

Bit of an odd one here guys but maybe someone can suggest something:

A family I knew quite some time ago went to a photo studio (I don't know where) and had a family portrait done - it was photographed/developed in such a way that it genuinely looked like a very old, 19th century/early 20th century family photograph.

Indeed, the family members all wore appropriately old-fashioned clothing - I think the father even donned a rather spiffing handlebar mustache. Not a smile in sight, as was the style of the times.

I'd love to get something like this done with my wife and son. He's a baby but I'm thinking ridiculous sailor suit with even more improbably large lollipop as a prop.

Does anyone know of a studio in Dublin where this can be professionally done? Any info appreciated.

You could check out the Analogue Studio, south William St.

Meant to say, not just made to look old on a PC but is actually shot on wet plate so a totally authentic product.

I've no connection whatsoever, but there are a couple of really interesting videos on YouTube about them. Not really my thing, but excellent work nevertheless.
