Description I've been thinking a lot about vintage fashion portraits from back in the day, and I felt like playing around


bracelet- a gift, but I think it's from avon

dress- I got it at a yard sale for incredibly cheap

shoes- I don't remember anymore.

and yes that's a chandelier.

Full view is pretty much necessary


Edit: went back and re-edited with some advice from a teacher

I got it at a yard sale, I'm not sure how much it was, but it was insanely cheap.

I liked this one because of the movement of your foot. May sound stupid, but I like that feeling of movement. lol

classically-fragile In reply to JRd1st [2008-05-31 00:52:14 +0000 UTC]

hehe, I was afraid the movement ruined it, I'm happy someone prefers it.

thank you so so much!

Nah, that made this better than the other, for me. You should try that on purpose, with other movements, sometimes.

BTW, I REALLY like the retro look. To me, women were never more beautiful (clothed, lol) than back in the 40's and 50's. The lipstick makes a huge difference, too.

hehe, despite the halogen spotlights that were blinding me, my shutter times were really slow, it irritated me at the time.

I have a set of halogens, too, and they don't seem to do much for all the heat they produce. I think a good flash is way more sensible. Maybe bounced off an umbrella.

I know....they didn't have airbrushing back then or as high tech as we do today so a lot showed through the camera lens...they were gorgeous.
