Another from my series with the wonderful Russian Model Ivy Grant.
This an image that I have worked on for the Lady that lends me all the wonderful hats and accessories for my shoots. She has a small boutique called La Bella on the High Street and wanted something graphic to put up in her changing rooms.
The clothes in the shop remind me of another era…and the great photographer Cecil Beaton. Just thought his style…with my take on it would work for this commission.
Taken high key: Canon 1/200, ISO100, f11, 50mm lens

Love the background “framing”,c’est fantastique! The limited grey colour palette with only the skin tones to relieve it also wonderful.
Thank you so much…took me a while to get the background right!
