Servus und Gr\u00fc\u00df Gott\u2026 This weeks Monday night studio shoot<\/a> based around the Dirndl. A dirndl<\/b> [\u02c8d\u026a\u0281ndl\u0329] is a type of traditional dress worn in Germany, especially Bavaria\u00a0 Liechtenstein, Austria, and South Tyrol. To keep things authentic dirndl designer Dianna Jones modelled her own outfits, and Austrian photographer Christian<\/a> joined me for the shoot.<\/p>\n

We started the shoot of with bright colourful backgrounds and lots of light and beer to give thing a cheerful playful look. As the night went on we used several different lighting set ups including a ring light and several different soft boxes. Some how we ended up doing a bit of “Harry Potter” witches and wizards look, but finished the shoot off with a\u00a0tricolour set up resembling the black, red, and gold of the German flag.<\/p>\n

A dirndl consists of a bodice, blouse, full skirt and apron. In popular culture it is sometimes reported that the placement of the knot on the apron is an indicator of the woman’s marital status, with a knot tied on the woman’s left side indicating that she is single, a knot tied on the right meaning that she is married, engaged or otherwise “taken”, a knot tied in the front means that she is a virgin. And a knot tied at the back showing that the woman is either widowed or a waitress\/barmaid.<\/p>\n
