Steampunk Fashion Redux

I have recently started using internet analysis devices to better gage what visitors to the Heliograph research. I had expected airships to be a mainstay, but interestingly enough, Steampunk Fashion was one of the most sought topics.As such, I have consolidated a second round of photos and weblinks regarding the topic. Please mind, that I am not a fashion designer, nor can offer anywhere near expert opinions about the intricacy of this topic, but the least I can do is provide a starting point…Photography———-Kat Bret Photography

A very talented photographer who resides in San Francisco, she had done a photoshoot with a steampunk flair about August of 2007. I was fortunate to locate her work, but missed some of her portfolio at the time. These are a few of her exquisite pieces of work… please visit her website for more of the same top notch work!
