Professional photographers love to do personal work, also called self-assignments. It allows us to push ourselves creatively. One of my favorite things subject for personal work is vintage styled images, especially from the 1920s to the 1950s. In this case, I was inspired by the work of Mark Shaw for Christian Dior in Paris in the 1950s. Shaw was a photographer for Life magazine, also known for his photographs of Audrey Hepburn and John Kennedy and his family.
