Put Janet in this polka dotted dress and it was very pinup looking. Of course I got focused on her face and we shot these.

Ep 12 – Photog Robert Alvarado
I consider Robert Alvarado to be one of the best, if not the best, pinup photographer working today. It was an honor to get to interview him.
The story about the model who for a cactus shoot actually punctured her rear end is worth the listen. He also talks about pushing the limits. He talks about some of his most controversial images and why he created them, as well as what the outcome has been. A very interesting discussion of creating something for art’s sake.
When we talk about art he candidly talks about his own wether he is an artist. What I think is a common thread for us photographers.
He talks about what influence the model has on his work, and how he’s changed in his style of directing models. I’m a month behind on post, and Robert gets images done in hours after the shoot.

Retro Swimsuit and Book
I’d planned on shooting swimsuit and Vanity showed up with this interesting retro one piece. With the books and the sunglasses, it lent itself to an interesting image.
Not so much a classic swimsuit image, but more a sophisticated look back in time.
Farmer’s Daughter Topless
Ellen changed into coveralls and they were very cute. And she’s holding a hat.
Not that you can see either in this image.
Farmer’s Daughter 2
More of Ellen in the farmer’s daughter outfit.
I like the pose, but it is a little too fashiony.
Something Country
Ellen is from Texas and we broke out this outfit and got a farmer’s – or I guess in Texas, a rancher’s daughter feel.
Cherise Military Pinup
Cherise brought one of her husband’s uniform shirts and we shot these image. A little pinup. Makeup by Michelle of Poison Makeup Art.

Another image, another look for Kimberly. This is one of my favorites.
Pinup Salute
This image is part of a shoot with model Kimberly Boenker. A video of this shoot is part of the Practical Pinup Online Workshop.
She had this military outfit, a classic pinup prop. The salute just sells the whole thing.
