Bella brought this outfit and she brought it again to the pinup workshop where she was one of the models. Its worth shooting more than once.
The magic prop room also produced the suitcase. And yes, we have shot models in the suitcase, its that big.

Pinup Eras – Coffee Tea Or Me

January 29, 2009 Pinup

What era is this? The time when stewardesses wore hot pants.
Alas Victoria Secrets wasn’t doing uniforms even then, but this one would make flying fun again for me. Getting through security would be fast as well.

Cute girl like Bella would of course have a beau who would give her [...]

Pinup Eras – 50’s Poodle Skirt

January 27, 2009 Pinup

The short poodle skirt was in the prop room. So were the shoes. Normally most of the clothes we shoot the model brings with her, but this time we were building as we went.

Pinup Eras – 50’s Housewife

January 26, 2009 Pinup

Bella showed up for the shoot in curlers and this image burst into my head. Most pinup is done on white, but this was part of a series and I didn’t want them all on white. So we grabbed a broom, and put her in this older outfit.

Model Photography Genres

January 26, 2009 Instruction

There are many names for the kinds of photography that involve models. Matter of fact I almost regret naming my site Glamour Apprentice, because Glamour is only one part of the mix. The real challenge is the names we give these different genres and how they map to actual images.
To further confuse things, the words [...]
