1940's photo shoot

[BJ Denning]

People are not my thing, but for 2014 I want to get better. So I had an opportunity to work with a lovely girl who did a wonderful job at pulling off a classic look. We shot at a local transportation museum and had borrowed a faux fur coat and old luggage bag to complete the look. C&C welcome.

For this one I went with a little grain and added a little blue to the shadows to try to give it an older look.

She had a beautiful smile. This was one of the rare times that she was not smiling.

Very nice. You should add more people to your mix.

Lovely. You did a beautiful job with focus, DoF, composition, color and processing. These images really evoke the era. And your model is stunning, stunning, stunning.

Bryan...as Marie said...stunning model. You really did yourself well at all these...Where did you get your model? Did she come with a price? Just asking...

[John 2]

Stunning set from every point of view. Can't wait to see more if this is you just starting.

John, John, Marie,

Thanks so much. I really enjoyed the shot and lucked into many keepers. Still more practice needed so I can get it right most of the time.

I noticed her in photos posted before and then lucked into a chance to shoot with her at a workshop from a local camera store. The class was an intro class, but I wasn't so much interested in understanding aperture as getting as many shot as I could.

With the period look of this model, Bryan, I sure wouldn't miss the chance to see how they would play with a B&W conversion.

Very nice.
