Hair Stylist

This week for our Diploma we have to take a photo in the style of Irving Penn, Richard Avedon or Annie Leibovitz. All amazing photographers but for my first attempt I've tried to emulate Irving Penn's Small Trades images. Can't quite get the "grubby" look, particularly on the skin.
Great image.. 👍

You have done really well - lucky you had a subject available!

Your model is very good and has the right 'non' attitude! Being rather beautiful helps too. This is a difficult challenge knowing Liebovitz!

I don't know Irving Penn or the others you mention - will have to go and google! I like the image. Looks like something from a magazine.

@julzmaioro Thanks Julz.
@dide Thanks Dianne. As soon as I started researching Irving Penn and saw his Small Trades series I thought of using Georgina so got her to bring her kit home when we went into lockdown.
@maggiemae Thanks Maggie. You're right, Leibovitz would be quite challenging. Luckily I get to pick one of the three to try and emulate.

Very much like the way you've given her power and confidence - I like this a great deal on black.

@rustymonkey @jernst1779 @amyk @rickster549 Thank you so much for your lovely comments.
@happypat Thanks Pat. She's still training but cut the hubby's hair the other day. Not sure I'm brave enough to let her loose on mine yet!
@joysabin Thanks Joy. She'll be pleased to hear your comment because I asked her to give it some attitude. She said, "I don't know how to do that", but I thought she'd managed it too.
