The model in the photo was holding only one mexican paper-mache skull.
But the skull is present three times in the same photograph. The
skulls also appear to be transparent in the pictures which make them
look ghostly and effective.
I decided that as the film was black and white I wanted to give it a 'Film Noir' style. I looked at the beautiful femme fatales in film noir and silent movies. I wanted to photograph my model wearing classy vintage style make-up, jewellery and clothing to recreate the classic 1930s flapper style.
I photographed my model sitting demurely on a chair covered with a velvet throw. I looked at existing photographs of beautiful actresses from the silent movie era and took inspiration from the for my own photo-shoot.
This time I used a Nikon film camera as I didn't want my images to double expose for this particular shoot. However I would like to revisit the double exposure method of photography for my next photo-shoot.
I then developed my film in the dark-room at university. A few days later I developed my own photographs. I am very happy with the way my photographs turned out.
