I have always had a fascination with old Film Noir movies and have always admired the works of John Alton and Alfred Hitchcock. I have always thought about doing my own film noir images and it wasn't until September 2010 when I finally decided that I was going to try and recreate the images of the 1940s and 1950s which are generally regarded as the "classic period" of American film noir.
This image then is my first attempt at a film noir inspired shoot.
For this image I wanted to create that tense moment you get when watching a movie when you know that something is about to happen, that moment when your heart starts racing, the moment when you sit up in your seat and hope that everything is going to be ok.
