Slices of Inspiration: Riviera's 70's Era Advertisement

While the combination of the hairstyles & eyewear in this 70's Riviera advertisement look hilariously outdated, there's some genius to admire when realizing how many frames the company could display at different angles with a composition consisting of eight models in one photo. Talk about getting it right!
