ShutterFam brings creators together to build portfolio-grade work in styled environments that inspire.
This time we’re stepping into a pub setting in Los Angeles. The themes are 1920’s / 1930 Prohibition era Speakeasy vibes. The venue features a rich vintage bar, velvet seating, a stage for dramatic compositions, and moody corners perfect for cinematic storytelling. Expect a space with dark glamour, jazz-age details, and golden light come together to inspire your portfolio.
Secret Speakeasy Features
- Authentic pub bar backdrop with bottles, wood, and brass accents
- Seating areas / sofas for intimate lifestyle shots
- A stage space ideal for editorial poses, solo portraits, and dramatic spotlights
- Dimly lit corners for moody, noir-style photography
- Warm lighting and golden tones to capture the Speakeasy aesthetic
- Styled details (glassware, cigars, props, curtains) to complete the vintage vibe
Event Vibe & Model Outfit Guide
This meet blends vintage glamour, Prohibition-era mystery, and cinematic energy.
Models should bring 2–3 versatile outfits that channel 1920s–1930s style with a modern edge.
Recommended Looks:
- Vintage Glamour – Satin or sequined dresses, long gloves, bold earrings, pearls, and heels
- Stage Presence – Performance-inspired looks: gowns, suits, feather accents, headpieces, or statement jewelry
- Speakeasy Noir – Dark, sultry attire with structured lines: cocktail dresses, blazers, red lips, smoky eyes
- Editorial Classic – Sleek black or jewel-tone outfits for timeless cinematic portraits
Accessories & Styling
Props that enhance the story are encouraged—faux cigars, champagne-style glasses, shawls, hats, canes, vintage instruments, or art deco jewelry.
Hair and makeup can lean into 1920s waves, smoky glam, or modern vintage twists.
Photographers
- Recommended lenses: fast primes or portrait glass for low-light performance
- Experiment with light/shadow, smoke, and stage angles for drama
- Capture both lifestyle and editorial energy across bar, stage, and lounge areas
- Respect the flow—ask before directing, share credits, and collaborate freely
