20070120_0399 Pin-Up Glamour
 
 

I met up with a young lady called Kizzy at the weekend for a shoot. She brought along a good selection of outfits to use but we spent much of the first part of the shoot just talking (and a lot of the whole shoot :wink: ), getting to know what we wanted out the shoot and getting comfortable with each other’s personality.

It was probably one of the best shoots I’ve had so far - very relaxed, fun and we produced some fabulous 50s-style pin-up images. Apart from the fact that she’s half my age (I feel so old being a photographer :sad: ) and she looks absolutely gorgeous with an amazing curvy pin-up figure, we discovered a great chemistry and a lot in common so at the end of the shoot, we came out with some superb images, lots of really good conversations and with a fantastic friendship already.

We have another shoot planned soon and loads of ideas for more after that, so this is going to be a long and fruitful relationship, very creative and a great friendship.

So Kizzy, thanks for a fabulous day and working on the images with me. I look forward to many, many more :smile:

OK, you have a beautiful young lady with a very long black and white jumper, thigh-length stockings, a short “bob” wig and some trendy sunglasses. So what do you do?

Simple. You go for some 60s style glamourous photographs. Apply darker lipstick and eye makeup and darker nail varnish. The long jumper becomes a sexy mini-dress, the wig goes on and the beautiful young lady turns into a 60s glamourous fashion starlet. Then push the brightness and contrast and convert to black and white.

So what do you think? Did it work? I think she should be on the cover of a fashion magazine advertising retro-60s glamour.
