You may remember some shots I posted recently of a model (Louise) which were the result of a meet a greet.
We then started the process of planning something a little bigger, organising access to a period building (The Rocks Albany), clothing from Featherstonehaugh and Hairdresser Danika wood.

The Model and I did a scout last week on location and got together a few ideas, but really it was like a kid in a candy store, so many different possibilities.

Time was a big factor, we got 300 shots in 3 hours, including time for the model to change and to re-setup lights and move equipment and furniture. I honestly felt a bit rushed.

I've posted the results below with lighting details, happy for you to pick them to bits as its the only way to learn, it was an awesome opportunity and something I've definitely learnt a lot from. I've just picked these 4 out, I believe there may be better ones depending on your taste but still deliberating over that. I may add more later if interested or just check back on flickr.

1. 430EXII @ 1/2 power reflected into umbrella above and to right of subject.

I don't know much about the 1920s, but these are great, #1 would be my favorite

The black and white is nice, full colour doesn't seem to suit the images style, I'm not sure but would a slight desaturation add to the 20's effect?

Couple more.

1. Highlight is a bit distracting but I like the mood.

Great shots but impossible for the 1920s. First of all your lighting is soft. The photographers of the 1920s all used hard lighting from hot lights fitted with fresnel lenses. The invention of the photographic umbrella and the softbox was to be years later. The bra, evident in several of your images was not in large scale production until the 1930s.
