“PRINCE CHARMING”

I thought this editorial was quite relevant to my study of this theme not only because of location and how i feel a bedroom setting could enhance a retro feel, but because of how it is shot. The model is shown eating, however seems so unnatural and again, sitting on a bed but like a mannequin. The entire editorial reminds me of a scene from a Gregory Crewdson’s series, of which as a photographer, he aims to showcase such a morbid, unnatural setting that looks as though it has been taken out of a thriller flm. However, it is obvious that Crewdson depends on this idea of cinematic photography, similar to this editorial. I also like the dark lighting in this setting and i think if i was to use my bedroom area, the lighting is quite dark and retro-like anyway so it could easily be achieved.
