Classic Retro Hollywood images were known for their dramatic lighting as well as their sophisticated, sultry poses.

Many of the great Hollywood photographers from the 1920s through to the 1950s produced expressive and haunting images, stirring our imagination with their glamourous black and white portraits.

‘It’s all so simple – no one believes me … You strike a pose, then you light it. Then you clown around and get some action in the expressions. Then, you shoot.’ – George Hurrel

In recreating Hollywood-style portraits, we draw inspiration from past masters such as John Kobal and George Hurrell in using a narrow depth of field with controlled traditional lighting styles. We aim to achieve striking images that look both effortlessly natural and have a very distinctive, elegant look.

So why not let us take you back to the golden age of film, giving you a timeless look that was in great demand among the movie stars and those in high society?
