Boudoir and Pin-up Photos


Well I am caving in to the demand for boudoir and pin-up style photography. A friend pointed out the Varga style pin up photos and I really like the look of them, so I talked one of my best friends into being a model for me, and here are a few of the results.

We started out with some pin up style shots......the red polka dot dress being a good choice to start out with!
I'm learning that a sense of humour is good for this type of photography....., but she was a great model .....willing to try new things and coming up with ideas for what she liked and thought looked good....



This next shot was an excercise in balance, as the stool was a wee bit wobbly.......




And this last image is one of my favourites of the day........

First New Studio Session





Wow, I have not been on here for a while.....Have a new studio, which is still being set up! However, it has double the space, and proper heat for the winter, which will be nice for all the babies that I currently photograph.
My first real session in the studio was Diane, who is pursuing petite modelling. I am loving the new studio more and more as I finally have room for different backdrops and props.
We started out in studio, and then moved outside to try and find a few interesting "urbanish" backgrounds. Here are the results......or at least what i edited quickly.......










We tried on a few hats......


And then we headed outside to see what locations we could find for some really neat shots......


This was taken on the steps of an old hotel.....she was sitting on broken glass, but everything went well...

And around the back of the hotel....


This was taken in a little alcove behind the old hotel, which is rumored to be haunted, so it was a bit spooky when there were noises coming from the building.....
