The music, fashion and film of the 1920s to 1950s inspired my interest in the photography of the era. I took portraits that echoed the beautiful, highly glamorised images of the Hollywood Golden Era by artists such as George Hurrell and Athol Shmith. I used my friend Erin as a model, replicating the clothes, hairstyling and makeup of the 1930s. I utilised traditional lighting techniques, and both 35 mm film in a SLR camera and 2¼ inch film in a Rolleicord camera to imitate the medium used by photographers of the time.
