I submitted a couple pics on a whim at the recommendation of a friend to magazine I enjoy...Inked Magazine. The magazine runs a daily contest - capturing inked women in pinup poses. Very fun. And I've been working on a tattoo project for the past several months, and so I had lots of images to choose from.
This morning, I learned one of my images was chosen. My model - Leah - was Girl of the Day, my pic chosen among many talented and beautiful submissions. Even though it's a little thing, it makes me proud.
And even though I personally don't have any tattoos, I love them. I love the artwork. Some of it really leaves me quite speechless. It's an amazing concept altogether - artwork using skin as a canvas. Centuries old and yet so modern.
My current favorite is the whole rockabilly pinup style - retro 50s looking women, usually inked, wearing vintage clothes - swimsuits, dresses, lingerie. In any case, looking, well, very ladylike! An ironic and amusing modern twist on the whole way-too-uptight style of the 50s. Fiercely independent women showing their unique styles and doing it in a feminine fashion.
LOVE IT.
With upcoming shoots already scheduled, I look forward to building my portfolio in this niche!
Have a great day, enjoy your July 4th, let's celebrate our many freedoms. And I thank you for stopping by!
Best,
Susan Eckert
