Beautiful photographs! I saw an Anthropologie catalog shoot awhile ago where they also shot under water, and it was lovely. I wonder if this was the influence?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I saw a Anthropologie Catalog shoot recently where they also shot underwater..I wonder if this was the inspiration?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos! I love vintage clothing and I have some extraordinary dresses and costumes from the 50s. Unfortunately I can't wear them. They are about XS and I'm not ;-( But that gives me the idea of working them into some unusual photos. Much better than keeping them in suitcases. Ha, a project for next year :-) Thank you for the idea!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice photos. The underwater one is my favourite.
