A WINK TO THE 1930's-40's

#AbFav_Mist_Smoke_Steam

Portraits became synonymous with the creation of images of elegance, style and glamour.

In the 1930’s and 40’s you had the Masters like Horst and Cecil Beaton with a classic and elegant style, which is characterised by their use of studio atmosphere, silhouette, dramatic lighting and highly posed models.

Their images were gelatine silver prints, gelatine is an animal protein used as an emulsion, to bind light sensitive silver salts (usually silver bromides or silver chlorides) to a paper or other support.

Gelatin silver prints replaced albumen prints as the most popular photographic process by 1895 because they were much more stable, did not have a tendency to yellow, and were far easier to produce.

Please let’s not start a whole debate about smoking?
I am a free person and as we are constantly being dictated what we can and cannot do, where to park, where to walk, what to eat, what to wear and EVERYTHING else… this is where I draw the line.

I love a cigarette in the evening, after a nice meal with a last sip of wine it helps me to unwind and de-stress…

I can live without them.

I am not a fanatic. So please some tolerance and respect?

Wishing you a stress-less day and thank you for your visit, Magda (*_*)
