golden age

Taking inspiration from the Golden Age of Hollywood, I wanted to reinvent my own personal series of images that reflected upon old vintage films and sepia tone photographs. Using these slender wooden boards, I wanted to capture simple snippets of moments within a scene and bring them to life as if they were slivered stills in a film. Using found objects such as the wooden surface and pearl stickers, I contrast the luxurious imagery with its material. Although the classic, timeless attire was influenced by Audrey Hepburn, it felt quite exhilarating to pose like a famous movie star myself when taking my own photographed references.
