Classic "Hollywood Golden Era" Portrait Photograpy

[RetroModelSari]

Wow! I think I never saw such georgous portraits in our time before!

A good friend of mine, Mr Gordon Ayres does portraits like this in London. He is a 'Spare time' photographer but has been at The Jitterbug ball many times. I had a one done by him years ago but I'd have to find it and get it scanned as it is all proper photgraphy on film, not digital.

If you go to http://www.jitterbugball.com/ and click on specailist photographer there are a few there to view. He doesn't have a website, I'm afraid.

He recently took some amazing pictures of an event we did at Osterley Park doing 1930s. They really could have been lifted straight from an old album. He is a real artist.

Wow, those are amazing. I'll have to repost the link in my LJ.

The $500 fee seems like a very reasonable price, too. I'm surprised so cheap in fact, considering he works in LA.

Amazing work!

I've been interested for quite some time on learning how to take old-fashioned photographs. I have this book that talks about the lighting on some old Hollywood portraits, but the point is that good golly, what excellent work!

I'm with everyone though, sure wouldn't mind him photographing me.

I wonder how many of those ladies decided that they wanted to look that way every day!

i simply must get to LA.

it's going to be a long walk, but for portraits like that it would be well worth it.

I was just going to recomend Gordon, he is an absolute darling..... Strangely enough that photo of me in the avatar was a snap taken by a friend of mine during a shoot at Gordons house, I'm in his study.... His work is amazing a true artist!! Yay for Gordon.... (His house is totally amazing too for those of you who don't know him.......)

Miss Sis - was the Osterley Park on New Years Eve 2006?? He was telling me all about it, sounded devine....
