Polka dot frivolity

Part of the Beach Bettie series with Kara Rasmanis.

Photographer: Kara Rasmanis
Camera: Holga
Bettie wannabe: Helen McLean
Location: Altona, Victoria

The shots were taken on Kara’s Holga using 220mm. The shots were taken as a continuous shot – the results were a mystery until the film was processed.

I moved from one shot to another, Kara moved from one shot to another and also varied the angle of the camera.

The shots shown here are just some of many crazy Bettie Page inspired poses!

Polka dot frivolity belongs to the following groups:
