Dramatic 40s-Inspired Shoots

This Beautiful Monochromatic Series Will Take You Back in Time

This beautiful '40s inspired shoot by Ray Gutierrez will take you back to a simpler time. The beautiful Kelly Polk poses demurely, looking directly into your soul from behind a tree or over her shoulder, revealing modest, controlled beauty.

Set in monochrome, the shoot really captures an old-time feeling. Her curled hair and dark lips will take you back to 40s-inspired styles that continue to come back into modern style trends. Her fair skin contrasts strongly against her dark features, giving her a fairy tale-like look. She even resembles Snow White with her short black locks and symmetrical features.

This '40s inspired shoot really captures a timeless beauty and simplicity. In only a black tank top, a chain necklace and shorts, she takes a casual spin on the look and makes it look natural and elegant.
