I think this picture came out rather successfully. I tried to recreate the theatricality of Beaton’s works by increasing the contrast between the bright and dark parts of the picture. I also tried to create a more staged portrait, much like Beaton’s, by adding extra accessories and adding a light source behind me to shine on my subject, making the portrait feel more theatrical. I tried posing her to face the other way, but the weight felt off, so I chose the one with her facing to the right. While not perfect, I think it does emulate parts of Beaton’s signature style of photography.
