Tell us a little about yourself! (details or get declined)
DevilDog Studio is Dave Parker - photography, illustration, design
Why DevilDog? As a child my favorite films were Hammer Productions - you know, Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee. Wolves in those films were DevilDogs or Hounds of Hell. Being a child of the media, I guess it's my homage to Hammer.
I am an artist first! Some of my photography is shot to incorporate into my art; and the rest is shot as an attempt at art. Being as aesthetics and personal opinion weigh so heavily on one's interpretation of art, I don't expect anyone will like everything I've done; I just hope something strikes a chord with most. I don't just shoot models; that's only what you see here.
I believe any model can benefit from shooting with me. Each shoot is different in that it is a collaborative effort between myself and the model. Your ideas and concerns are just as valid as mine. Our goals are one and the same: to obtain at least one solid image for our ports.
My shots have always leaned towards pin-up; it feels natural to me. My tastes are more toward the lighter side of fetish - i.e. hosiery, heels, garters, corsets, etc. Also, I shoot up to implied for pin-up, topless if you are comfortable. (OMG! Implied nudity! Yeah, do your homework. A good percentage of pinup by big name artists over the years used implied and even full nudity. I think full nudity is a cheat, though. For me, pin-up is about the tease - what you almost saw.)
I am influenced by masters like Elvgren, Mac Pherson, Driben, Ballantyne, Petty and many others. But I am not trying to directly imitate their works like so many others. I am trying to bring the nostalgic pinup feel back in new works.
