The Last Sitting

Influenced by ‘The Last Sitting’ (photos of Marilyn Monroe), I recreated several poses with my model. I have created a similar background, as well as relating lighting techniques to the original image. From left to right, you can see the image used as inspiration, my original photo and the final edited image.

These images developed from the central iconic photograph. I added newspaper clippings associated with the life events of Marilyn Monroe to contextualise the final photograph. My original photo can be seen along with the edited images.
