Silent Film Star

  •  A silent film is a film with no synchronized recorded sound
  • The “silent era” (1894 in film – 1929 in film)
  • The height of the silent era (from the early 1910s in film to the late 1920s) was a particularly fruitful period, full of artistic innovation
  • Early sound films, starting with The Jazz Singer in 1927, were variously referred to as the “talkies,” “sound films,” or “talking pictures.”

“Silent Film Star” is a conceptual photograph of a westie or white highlands white terrier dog dressed as a film star from the elegant silent film era.

Part of a series of photographs featuring dogs from fine art photographer Edward Fielding.
