Here’s Lookin’ at You, Kid

by Celina[zilla_likes]

There’s something about classic black-and-white hollywood movies that still seems so glamorous. The drama and romance of noir films from the ’40s and ’50s still get me every time. When I started brainstorming this shoot I knew I had two options. In these movies there are always two types of girls, the good (and usually helpless) woman, and the femme fatale. It wasn’t a difficult decision.
