Borrowing from days gone by -- trying on pin curls, fitting into retro / vintage clothes and posing like a 40s/50s darling -- is absolutely a blast!
Check out the above image from my last night's retro pin up shoot. K was perfect!! And while I struggled to get the pinup curls to hold in her fine, silky smooth hair (without further eroding the atmosphere with too much Aquanet), she seemed to channel a pin up queen with ease!
It started with a simple theme. Black white and red. And when she showed me the red lace trimmed bra with cherries over it, I was instantly excited. The umbrella was a spontaneous pickup from earlier in the day - and I thought that lit from behind with a softbox, it would provide that perfect bit of design interest I love to include in my images.
I thought this image was so beautiful that I wanted to make it look pretty as a postcard and included the text above and behind her.
Below is a second image from our shoot. For this one I wanted to give it the feel of a vintage magazine cover.
They're both fun images that reflect the fun K and I had last night during our shoot. So much so, that I shot over 250 images! Now comes the fun part - I get to create art out of the work we did together! So, it's back to editing for me....
Enjoy what's left of your weekend and make it a great week!
