"You know you don't have to act with me, Steve. You don't have to say anything, and you don't have to do anything. Not a thing. Oh, maybe just whistle. You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and... blow." - Lauren Bacall To Have and Have Not
Art Direction & Set Design: 21st Century Film Noir
I art directed, prop directed, fashion-styled, and helped shoot these photos as part of an ongoing photography series under The WallBreakers’ banner. I wanted to shoot women in classically empowered settings, using lighting techniques commonly associated with Film Noir, but in color to modernize the feel. I was able to to challenge myself to be able to direct an entire photo shoot and to take a classic concept and update it for the 21st century.
