BEATNIKS

This set includes 29 high-quality art references.

Self-portraits inspired by the beatnik aesthetic of the bohemian poets and artists of the 1950s: heavily lined eyes, stripes and black, and an attitude somewhere between distant and intense, straight out of an existentialist café. Dark makeup, copper-coloured hair with a straight fringe and a white backdrop.

Inspired by a beauty-matic session, in soft, side-lit natural light. All shots are close-ups, like the ones in the preview, with a range of facial expressions, head turns and plenty of hand gestures.

Ideal for studying the face, expressions, hands, neck and collarbones, and the modelling of the face in natural light.
