The Ipcress Style by jkjunglejim

Facebook Monthly Photo Competition - June 2012: June 2012 - Vintage

I have loved this iconic image for a long time! David Bailey's shot of Michael Caine as Harry Palmer used as promotional material for the IPCRESS File (1965). The harsh shadows which give the image a sense of retro urban cool so I tried to copy it myself. The model is a guy I work with, Kieran, who happens to be the biggest film buff like myself which really helped get into the mood.
