It is a funny phrase, and it is very often used by a much beloved character, yet you never hear fiddly dee anymore. Why do people not quote it or use it anymore?
My cousin Michael and I were inspired to experiment with a portrait photography style influenced by classic cinema and 1930s and 1940s Hollywood studio portraiture, with a strong dash of Gone with the Wind and its famed heroine, Scarlett O’Hara.
This photo of Megan Tremethick was shot on a GX680 II medium-format camera and then given a restrained, vintage-inspired colour treatment in post.
I’d really appreciate any critique on the lighting, composition, skin tones and colour grading, and on whether the image feels convincingly period-inspired. I’d also be interested to hear if there is anything else you would have done thematically.
The feedback I received last time was very helpful in adjusting the composition, particularly a shrewd observation about the differences between modern portrait photography and 1940s studio styles.
BTW, we develop the film ourselves as well, which is fun :)
I was reading Gone with the Wind almost exactly 50 years ago for the first time when it aired on NBC. November 7-8-1976. I was 9. (I had been reading my mom's books for a while.)
She lent the book to somebody and lost it, but it was always supposed to be part of my inheritance. (I have it now in another edition, of course}. That particular one was the first one I ever read. Wow. 50 freakin' years,
For some reason I just figured out that Carreen O'Hara and Beth March are basically the same character in my head. It kind of makes me laugh.
