Me and another student had spoken about ideas or photography shoots now that Unit 6 is over with, and looked into the 1930’s to 1950’s style of photography often found for portraits of celebrities. Specifically the thick eyebrows, beautiful full figured females and the obvious black and white theme.
This was a small "going back in time" project that had a quick turnaround as far as I was concerned.

The above photo is the kind of image that I was looking at to bring out my own series of interpretations for that period (between 1930’s and 1950’s )
So dragging in a friend as my model with the full figure, and bringing in a hairdresser to do the hair that could be possible in that period of time, I set up the infinity curve with its beauty dish lighting like a previous shoot that I had done that I may post up.
With a little bit of editing to gain the dark shadows and darker parts of the model whilst trying to keep their skin flawless and pale, I finally finished with these images.
