I'm left wondering if this model actually knew how to take a picture.
You don't remember when you had to turn the camera to get a "portrait" angle instead of the usual "landscape"? I know, that was a long time ago. The models tan lines and haircut say late 50's to early 60's. The camera looks like that time period, too.
Great to see photography buffs in this crowd. I took a photography course in the 80s and recall being told not to squint your eye because it distorts the focus. Unfortunately, we never had live models.
I enjoy photography and actually taught a class of middle school students at a community center in East Austin in 1974. Fortunately, we used point and click cameras that required no technical skill and only a trip to Walgreen's for developing. The idea was to encourage self-expression, and some of the kids were quite artistic.
Nice male shadows again. Is he tilting the camera to make a vertical shot? I do that sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI still do that even though my digital camera (and phone) have ways to get around it.

ReplyDeleteI'd say your spot on with the time line.
DeleteThis model is my favorite.
