Mod inspired photo-shoot

I wanted to create a photo-shoot with a truly retro 60s style.  I absolutely love the zany, psychedelic patterns from the 1960s.  I have my own collection of vintage dresses, accessories and outfits from this era. I was also very lucky to find a beautiful orange and brown floral umbrella in a charity shop which I though would fit in perfectly in my photo-shoot.

My gorgeous friend Sian Bott kindly offered to model for me.  Sian has a retro style and a very short bob haircut which is absolutely perfect and fitting with the chosen theme.

I styled Sian's make-up and she wore some of my vintage dresses and jewellery which I had chosen to style her in.

We also looked at some photos of 1960s models such as Twiggy and Peggy Moffitt to get inspiration from their poses and facial expressions which were often used in 1960s fashion photography.

With the photos I have taken I am planning to use the same method in my Saccharine photos (in my previous post).  I want to cut, colour and collage the photos with floral patterns and fabrics in the background.
