Senior pupils from the local High School had been creating cake stands using vintage crockery, and I was called in to do some promotional photos. I was seriously impressed at the lengths they went to getting costumes, makeup and location all sorted out. It ended up being a more professional shoot than several I've been on. They were a delight to work with.
I decided to try and create an illustrated feel by creating an effect so as the image moves out towards the edges it becomes increasingly like a drawing. This has the effect of the characters coming to life out of the pages of a storybook, which I felt tied in with the whole Alice in Wonderland theme.
I then gave the whole thing a slightly desaturated, sepia tone, which creates the look of old hand-tinted photographs. This, I felt, tied in with the Victorian/Edwardian setting of the Lewis Carroll story and the retro crockery being used for the cake stands - harking back to days gone by
