Alexander Leventon, who operated a portrait studio in Rochester, New York, employs pictorial effects in combination with portraiture in Serenity II. The use of soft lighting and a pose looking heavenward creates an "aura" of holiness around this nun in habit, though the result also evokes an early Hollywood glamour along with this spirituality.
