4th Shoot: 1920s

This shoot was one of the ones I was more excited for. It's the only shoot I did with more than 1 model and I really wanted a strong gender-bend theme. I wanted a short-haired, masculine female model who would wear a shirt and trousers with a bow tie, and a feminine male model wearing a 20's style flapper dress. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough money to buy a 20s style dress, so I decided to dress both models in the same thing.

Makeup for the male model. I didn't create a face chart for the female as it would
only be some foundation then straightening the eyebrows and defining the jawline. 

 I'd also decided that like in my punk and 80s shoot, I wanted to use cigarettes and cigarette holders. The ones I used in the studios were fake, though I'm really happy with them and I don't think they look fake at all. I decided to use smoking because I think it's a really easy way to change the models' mannerisms and make them appear more feminine/masculine, without getting them to pose overtly different.

I had a lot of trouble with the lighting on this shoot. Both of my models turned up late on this day, meaning I had to not only rush the makeup and hair, but also rush setting up the studio. After the model's got comfortable with each other (and the camera), the poses became a lot better and came out well.
