11/10/17: Decades - 60s

INTRO: The prompt for my final photo project for Directorial Mode was simple - shoot something you love and that interests me. I love to shoot people, and the past interests me. I decided to split my final project into four different parts - with four different decades. I did intense research on the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, watching movies, looking at old magazines, and reading reading reading. After I reached out to the models I chose, I made an extremely ELABORATE look-book powerpoint breaking down my makeup/clothing/accessory/pose/props/concept expectations to show my models.

To stop this from being an ordinary, basic, vintage wannabe fashion shoot, I wanted to go a step farther and a step deeper. Not only did I research on the fashion of that decade but I read about the social, cultural and political movements going on of that era, and I wanted to portray that with my photos.

PART ONE: The 60s. Half of me wanted to portray the 1969 Woodstock type of hippie, the other half of me wanted to portray the polka-dotted pin up girl - so I kind of combined them. The beautiful Sheridan who I previously shot for Clutch magazine was happy to play dress up with me and obliged to my crazy pose ideas. Here's the magic we made together
