Take me back in Time.

To tie in with our theme of 'time' for the first issue of SB we decided to create a photoshoot focusing on the style of the 1940’s. My brother James, a photography student is featuring in our ‘up and coming’ section of the magazine and agreed to photograph the shoot for us.

We researched the iconic style of 1940’s women and re-created it give a modern twist on a classic look. The red lips, smokey eyes, pale faces and wavy hair are the key elements that make up that iconic style and these elements are now used and are iconic to a younger generation as Hollywood, red carpet glamour. We decided to have the shoot in our magazine in black and white drawing inspiration from a selection of photographs I found taken by Richard Warren titled ‘Hitcock Blonds’

Kim and I acted as models for the afternoon as my brother moved and directed us and the lighting to aid the look we were trying to create. Charlie acted as stylist assisting Kim and myself to make sure we were looking the part at all times! James took a total of 249 photographs of us and here are a selection of the best ones – but for the final chosen and edited versions…….well you’ll just have to wait for the magazine!
