44/52: Project 52 - self portrait
45/52: The 52 week challenge - Recreate a famous photograph – one that you greatly admire.
Ever since I saw an exhibition of Horst's work, I wanted to do my version of his image 'Round the clock'. So I knew exactly what I would do for this weeks 52 week challenge. Then when Project 52 theme was self portrait, I decided to do this as a self portrait. Originally I had converse in mind and a friend had agreed to model for me but we hadn't got around to arranging a time for a photo shoot. I don't own converse so thought I'd use my walking boots. I also took a version wearing high heels but preferred this version as it's closer to the image I had envisaged. Here is a link to the original...I absolutely love it...and no, there was no way I was going to dress up like that...especially not for Flickr...I don't usually show my legs, so this is very brave of me! ;)
