Erwin Blumenfeld + British Heritage Inspired Shoot

As part of our work for the summer break, we were asked to compile a photoshoot that was inspired by both photographer Erwin Blumenfeld and British heritage and eccentricity. Using myself as a model (since to be quite honest, it ended up being very last minute after being incredibly busy over the summer interning), I tried to emulate British style through prints and textures, whilst also using the same photographic style as Blumenfeld and applying effects post-production. I'm very pleased with the results!! I've very kindly added information on where the items of clothing are from if you were interested. I purposefully used a lot of vintage items mixed with British brands or high street to show our thrifty nature!

Erwin Blumenfeld @ Somerset House

Today I visited the beautiful Somerset House to see the exquisite Blumenfeld exhibition. If you've not heard the name before, Blumenfeld is one of the most influential photographers of the twentieth century, renowned for his highly imaginative and innovative photographs which featured in some of the most highly regarded fashion magazines of the 40s and 50s such as Vogue and Harpers Bazaar.

As an avid vintage lingerie and stockings fan, this was one of my favourite shots!
