Project W/W

For the past couple of years I've been working on a World War 2 photo essay kinda project. Scouring ebay for cheap buys of fatigues and gear, buying broken airsoft guns to use as props and trying different lighting and ways of shooting to achieve the look I like. All the while trying to watch documentaries, read books and look at photographs of the time to see what I can fake in photoshop and what I'd need to actually have on hand as far as clothing and gear. My hats off to the reenactors! World War 2 military gear is expensive. Maybe not as expensive as photography gear and computers and software but still....
