The 1950s.

1950s

PHOTO-SHOOT

As a university project, I had to create a photo-shoot, partnered with another member of the class (Sarah Clark), and we were given the based on a particular era and Sarah and I were given 1950s housewife. 

The model that we chose is extremely well suited to the 1950s housewife look as she was already a fan of the style of this era. We used the photography studio in Northbrook college and were given a 30 minute slot to capture the shot needed for the final edited image.

The following are a few of my favourite shots from the photo-shoot:

These were all fierce contenders for being chosen as THE final image, but in the end, after tedious amounts of editing, we chose one of these shots, edited it and finished it as the final image, as shown below:

By adding some light humour and subtle, yet affective, editing to the image I think that we created a great 50s housewife style image here, though with the proper props dated back to the actual 50s, such as the hoover, we could have made this a fantastic and realistic image, but we utilized what we had to work with and made the best of it and overall I love the final outcome.
