Images Inspired by Film Noir

This creative independent project focuses on themes found in the 1930-50s classic film style also known as Film Noir, I chose this because I enjoy the darker themes and undertones as well as the overall style of old crime films and the typical portrayal of gender. These photographs portray the stereotypical characters of film noir, the femme fatale being the most notable. I edited my digital photography to make it look more like old black and white film and took my photographs both in the studio, outdoors and at my home for a better and more believable mix or backdrops and ‘scenes’. I was inspired by Damien Lovegrove and his classic evocation of the genre.
