Zine Plan

I plan to create a minimalist zine displays then and now images of Glasgow and surrounding districts. The images of now taken by me and the images of then taken by a late family member who took many photos between the late 50s and 70s. Using digital copies of these old film slides of Glasgow I shall scout out and match the locations I find interesting or have some kind of attachment too which has seen a good deal of change since the original slide image was taken. 

I want it to be displayed in the style of a paper movie, much like The Americas by Robert Frank. One image per spread and little captions. 

My images will be presented with a wide angle shot and the older slide layered on top, as shown below in an early test example.   

Studio – White / Light Grey background 

Style – Medieval romantic gothic gown shot in a modern magazine style with a brash messy punk attitude. If Queen Elizabeth the First in Blackadder II was a punk. Spoiled Princess Brat Punk. 

Clothing – Medieval style gown, fishnets and thick boots such as Dr Martens. 

Hair and makeup – yes. 

Props – most likely
