Also on Friday, I did a shoot with another Burlesque lady, Dani California, who is also a trained dancer. I wanted to do a shoot inspired by vintage photographs of Ballet Dancers, back in the day they were considered equal celebrities to movie stars and musicians, their photographs not unusual to see in the pages of Vogue.
So Dani got her hands on some tutus and brought along her lovely bespoke red ballet shoe pasties by Adora Belle and her red pointe shoes, lovingly customised with red rhinestones and came to the studio to pose for me.
After looking at some more vintage Vogue photographs, I decided I wanted to attempt to re-create the look of some of the early coloured photographs with a twist, so experimented in Photoshop with de-saturating and adding coloured photo filters. To add a twist I add textures of tulle fabric and some spot light textures that I shot in the studio to give the final image an antique and painterly quality to it. I'm very proud of it, although I think I could improve the techniques used, so this is something I'm going to look into further.
