"Bollywood Through the Decades: Recreating the Iconic 1980s"
Concept:
The objective of this photoshoot was to pay homage to the most iconic era of Bollywood, the 1980s, renowned for its international impact, fusion of cultures, and bold portrayal of female characters. By recreating the unforgettable roles of Zeenat Aman and Parveen Babi, specifically Laila (from "Laila o Laila" song) and Nisha (from "Jawani Jaaneman" song), our aim was to capture the essence of a period that continues to influence fashion trends to this day.
Studio:
We selected Gorillas Studios' "Indian set" as the backdrop because it impeccably captures the essence of the 1980s Bollywood aesthetic, perfectly aligning with the look and feel of the concept.
Wardrobe:
Gold and silver took center stage in clothing and accessories, reflecting the opulent and glamorous fashion trends prevalent in the 1980s. The wardrobe was carefully curated to authentically replicate the iconic looks of the characters, effectively embodying the spirit of their performances.
Mood and Style:
The mood seamlessly fuses retro nostalgia with contemporary creativity. The style harmoniously blends the boldness and vibrancy of the 1980s with a modern twist, showcasing its enduring impact on today's GenZ.
Technical:
The lighting faithfully recreates the dramatic and dynamic illumination characteristic of 1980s Bollywood films, effectively enhancing the overall retro ambiance. The application of warm tonality and post-processing techniques is utilized to evoke the cinematic quality emblematic of the era's cinematography.
