The Story

  This is it, it's here. As I said in the preview this editorial consists of a series of photographs that tell the story of a couple who are going through tough trails in their relationship. The setting of the photographs depict the couple out on a date which will determine their future together.


  This story is told through the lens of vintage fashion from the 1920s, 30s, 40s, I could say the 1950s too, but their much more diverse in styles than the other decades listed. Parts of the outfits worn by the couple featured can be categorized in each category of those decades. 


  About two or three weeks ago I decided to do this shoot at the spur of the moment. We did the shoot on a Saturday morning around 11, the day started out cloudy but eventually the sun came out and allowed me to capture some good shoots. I could have edited these photos to look vintage and add grain to them etc., but i decided to got with them as is. These images were shot in digital and film, maybe later I'll scan the negatives and upload a few but in the mean time take a look at these.


Enjoy and comment!
