We had a model night at camera club last night. Our camera club hired a male model who reenacted / created three characters from the 1940's .... a butcher, undertaker and bank manager.
This is model, Ben Wilkes, doing his 1940's butcher, apron collar and tie, straw hat and a wicker basket of "ration item" goods.
BTW : The bacon is fake , it's a plastic 'lookalike' !
Do you like it? It's a bit of a different genre for my photostream. I much prefer working the street to a studio set up
I love it! As you say, something a little different. I wonder if he would suit black & white, with it being 1940s? I also wonder if he’s a member of the Home Guard - real name Cpl Jones 😉🤣
What a super evening you must have had , in spite of preferring to work the streets!! ha !! I love it ! such a wonderful character, As Carole I can see him as other characters of the '40s - fav
@busylady ha ha Judith , the model had several photographers shooting each outfit and had three costume changes and two hours to do it in , so we only got a few mins each shoot !
What a great evening! I'm supposed to be learning this sort of thing for my diploma. I'm frightened of lights, so this would be such a good opportunity
@yorkshirekiwi Carole , the lighting was already set up , all I had to do was dial in the manual settings , ISO 100, f8, 1/180 second and then compose , focus and shoot !!
This is a wonderful capture Phil. The light & definition of stripes against that dark background. I think it’s the best photo I have ever seen of yours! Big fave.
