This is for a current project I'm working on "They don't make 'em like they used to" mainly talking about social dynamics.
I popped into my nans house around the corner and asked her to be my lovely model while making her dig out her 1970's jacket and the old hair net.
The wallpaper is from a local DIY store which was quickly propped up for the shot.
I would of loved the smoke coming out of the cigarette but she don't smoke indoors.

The title of this photograph should be called Generation Gap, Not Gap's but I currently can't edit it. :)

OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for my Mu (most underrated) award:
Positives: If this isn't candid, then she needs an Oscar and you need a magician's hat! This looks like it was taken 30 years ago - has an utterly authentic feel to it. The lighting and the colours are just so right. WHat a great expression too.
Critical stuff: In-your-face image that you either like or hate. Very brave, but I certainly wouldn't have it on my wall.
Overall: A very competent and compelling portrait.
Great portrait! This speaks volumes to me as this was the generation before mine, the one I grew up watching and your shot captures the essence of it wonderfully! Giving this my only 10 so far!
