The title of this project is Noir vs. Modern

The cultural issue I want to explore with my photographs is the comparison between the drabness of modern fashion with the glamourous, timeless style of the film noir era. Throughout my life, I’ve been drawn to 60s crime films. The mystery, the suspense, the story, and the characters all made me fall in love with this charismatic genre, but perhaps the most significant and the most representative aspect of the film noir genre is the classic fashion style and shadowed look. I want to replicate this charming style in my identity project, communicating to the audience the glamor, mystery, and charm I felt and loved about this timeless genre.

I want my audience to feel nostalgic, mysterious, alluring, and glamorous.

I will get inspiration and develop my ideas by looking for photographs that might be taken from film noir movies, taking screenshots, and studying the lighting technique, the costume style, and the composition. I will also go on the internet and search “studio film noir photography”
