Film Transformation

Transformation in Snap Shots

““Ain’t We Got Style?” is a portfolio in the August issue of Vanity Fair where photographers Michael Roberts, Norman Jean Roy, Mark Seliger, and Art Streiber teamed up with Chan, Amanda, Josh Duhamel, Mila Kunis, Emile Hirsch, and a total of 31 hot, young rising stars to re-enact classic  stills from Depression-era films.”

I really liked this idea of interpreting old movie snapshots with today’s actors but keeping the scenario and props the same. These are only a few of the photographs that were taken. What I really liked is how the definition of beauty has also transformed throughout the years. To have a pretty face, nice hair and to be glamorous has remained, although with regards to the figure there have been some changes. A skinny figure has topped that of curves.
