If you were to ask Falcon which photographers
shaped and influenced the style of The House
of NyghtFalcon, one of those would be George
Hurrell.
Often using little more than Fresnel lights from
movie sets, pots, pans, and sheets of metal
left laying around on sets, Hurrell created, de-
fined, and embodied glamour photography for
more than four decades.
Over the years, we have tried to replicate
Hurrell's style with little success. With Profo-
to's Cine Reflector, we have finally found the
tools we needed. In this essay and in the next
we will look at how we have used the Cine Re-
flector to create images in the tradition of Hur-
rell.
