The 1920's Project

A few years ago I started creating 'period' 1920's & 30's images using my own vintage Austin sports car and models in contemporary costume. All the pictures here were captured on cut film with an original 1930's Zeiss Ikon quarter-plate bellows camera.

Much motoring imagery of the era focussed on the new 'fad' for fashionable young girls ('flappers') to own and drive cars, deriving a good deal of humour from their greater or lesser skill behind the wheel or under the bonnet, and from their apparent predeliction for flashing generous amounts of silk stocking. Such pictures might not quite pass as 'PC', but nonetheless evoke an air of innocence when viewed from a 21st century standpoint.
