War accessories for the 1940s were everywhere. World War II was so embedded in the culture of that time, and it integrated itself into daily life.
I wanted to focus on the buttons and insignia’s on the uniform, and adding a human element by incorporating the hands really personalizes the image.
Speed lights were such a life saver for this shoot. I used them for the last two images, and it really helped me illuminate the subject and add awesome shadows to the photos. I adds a great mood to the photos that I feel is cohesive to the time period.
