The concept of my portraiture based around Cecil Beaton and the very posed, still looking images that he and his contemporaries took. In particular I would like to look at hats as a fashion piece/statement. I will concentrate on head shots and close-ups.
The photo's will be taken in the studio, using a mix of both medium format film and digital formats. I'd like to use a combination of soft light and harsh to produce shadows. For that I will need three lights, with two soft boxes and a cone, I may also open the blinds so as to have as much light as possible, while still creating shadows. The models hair will be styled half up/half down
My influences for this project were Cecil Beaton and Horst P. Horst. To a lesser extent famous poses - such as Hamlet with a skull - have also influenced me, Rankin may also have an effect.
I will be producing 5+ images in a mix of colour - digital - and black-and-white - film. All the photos will be studio portraits with similar lighting, hair and clothing.
