I’ve been kept quite busy with wedding documentary and fashion photography recently, so it was great to be invited by Rob Heslop to something that was ‘just for fun’. He invited me to a film noir shoot where the photographers got to play with lighting and directing, the models got to act and that post processing was easy!
We could have done with a smoke machine but this was still brilliant fun and took me back to my days as a media student, making films.
I love that the film noir tradition uses very simple light setups to show shape, form and character from out of the shadows. Characters that we all know well – the jaded detective, the femme fatale, the mafia boss and his moll. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves, but I love that these images are alive with their moodiness, atmosphere and mystery.
