That makes me smile... and you're right. Although I'm not as creative as Cecil Beaton was, I did photograph and did a series of dramatic self portraits a while back. Maybe I'll post them after I photograph them digitally.
wouldn't it be wonderful to recreate that setting and mood. I adore Cecil Beaton, I believe at the V&A last year they did some portrait photography in the mode of Beaton in conjunction with a Beaton show. Would love to see the self portraits. I have always be intrigued by the Beaton backdrops and settings-I just did a post on it last week-I think. This one is lovely. pgt
Hello William:
ReplyDeleteBut, dear William, this is just as we imagine you are always photographed. And how wonderful your album must be.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful and romantic and timeless! The other day I was admiring Beaton's photos of Lucian Freud....there must be something in the air.
