Halloween 2024: Film Noir
We watched a lot of Film Noir movies in 2024, so it was only natural that Noir would be our theme for Halloween of 2024. These characters are reminiscent of Five O'Clock Shadow and Ashley Archer, but here we have more elaborate costumes that provide a variation on that theme. The cigar is fake, but the pistol is real.

Ashley expertly used Photoshop to drop in these vintage backgrounds: a wonderful 1940's train car interior (above), and an appropriate Art Deco graphic (below) that reflects the time period in an interesting way.

Some behind-the-scenes images of this shoot, which was actually captured in our home and on our front porch:
