Old Hollywood Glamour Shoot

Celebrity and fashion photographers Ricky McGill and Henry Navarro have asked Atelier Emmanuel to participate in a trip back to Old Hollywood photography sessions. Back then, the portrait and pinup photos were the selling card of all actors. Ricky and Henry are looking to do an event that is part pampering session and part old style photoshoot.


The work of George Hurrell, the leading Hollywood photographer of his time, is the main inspiration for this upcoming photoshoot. Hurrell defined the glamour shot which is so familiar to us now. Think of Bette Davis, Rita Hayworth or Humphrey Bogart and you are likely visualizing one of Hurrell's portraits of these stars. There's a timeless quality to glamour shots. Photography with mood — strong lighting and lush shadows; shots taken with care and time, to get depth from the model. 
 

The idea of this photoshoot is to take a break and get pampered. The hour long session includes hair and makeup services, fashions, followed by the photo session. Atelier Emmanuel will be on-hand to provide all the hair and makeup services.
