In my most recent practical with Lottie, I created a Glamorous Hollywood waves which were worn by many woman in the 1930/40's. I feel I created this hairstyle successfully and found it easy and fun, this hairstyle relates to the black and white Tv make-up I created in the previous practical with Lottie and I understand the importance of make-up and hair in black and white film/photography.

The photographs above are perfect examples of the hair and make-up women wore throughout the 1930/40's. George Hurrell is an important photographer to look at when finding references for black and white film/photography as he photographed many glamorous Hollywood actresses and models that were styled in a particular way and wanted glamorous glossy portraits. When capturing hair and make-up in black and white photography, you aim to bring out a subjects features and depth on the face with shadow and the making them look airbrushed and soft; the lighting used to create glamour photography makes every person his pictures look gorgeous and glossy.
Hollywood waves in glamour photography create movement and have a beautiful gloss and shine under the lighting. The way the hair reflects light in glamour photographs contributes to the characters personality traits and things that are being communicated about a character.
