Hello everyone here at Pin Up Lifestyle!!
Let me introduce myself. I'm a photographer based in San Antonio, TX. The name of my biz is Time Machine Studios Photography. I specialize in old Hollywood glamour photography, trying to duplicate some of the greats of the 40's and 50's such as my hero, Hurrell of Hollywood's style. Of course, I absolutely ADORE vintage pin up, but I do it a bit differently, as you will see in my photos. I love film noir and the drama it captures. Also, I'm fascinated with the look of true vintage photography from the mid 1800's. I am currently working on a ghost series to replicate some of the photos that were taken during the spiritualism craze. All of this could not be done without post production editing. It takes a lot of research and time to make sure that I am being true to whatever time period I am doing. I've started to dabble in digital painting as well. The skies the limit! So, if you are interested in traveling back in time with your photos, I am booking new shoots often. If you are just too far away from Texas, I am willing to edit your photos via email, just make sure they are the full resolution pix and that you have your photographer's permission!! Anyone who is interested please contact me at tammykoos@aol.com.
How did you find PL? (Who referred you?, What site was the link on? What keywords did you search?) Be detailed, It helps us advertise and thank people!
A photographer friend (V I Photography) introduced it to me, and I'm SO glad she did! This network is marvy!!
Oh, I am very much into culture fusion, so that "Night of the Loving Dead" piece is an arabic, Mexican day of dead and Beijing Chinese Opera mask all in one. The model is from Lebanon, so the writing on the mask says "LOVE" in arabic, hence the title of piece.
I was wondering how you created that effect? Is it like a software program you have or is there a website where anyone can alter their photos like that?
aw that would be amazing! i wasnt too impressed with the tog on that shoot to be honest. he was more of a point and click without thought kind of guy. so making them more punchy would be great.
you're such a sweetheart!
feel free to play about with them.
just send em to:
katrina-darling@hotmail.co.uk
if i like 'em better i'll delete the originals and pop your edits up instead :)
Neat-O! Not sure if there is much you can do about the cheezy date being at the bottom right hand corner of the photo, so professional hehe :) Thanks for offering this service, thats really amazing of you!
That sounds great! I'll have to get some new legitimate pictures: the ones i took of myself aren't very good. I'll post them up and let you know when i do. Can wait to see them!
I was very nice working with you too! It was the first shoot of that kind I had done and you made me feel very comfortable...not to mention how grateful I am for your patience...it was a long trip. Anyway, we made it safely and I'll give Jude a squeeze for ya! Can't wait to see those edits!
It would by my extreme privilege to be your buddy!!!
(Extreme privilege... as if it would be on ESPN X-Games, drinking a Mountain Dew, talking on its Boost Mobile phone... wearing it's crooked, flat billed hat, with big pierced ears... My privilege is hella extreme!!!)
Got my Feather at (brace yourself) Torrid ! I wondered in by accident and was looking around and ended up in the accessorizes. They had flowers, feathers, and bows....but that red one won my heart
Hi there! That's funny, I thought I was the only person who doesn't like watermelon. Good to know there is someone else. Yes, I am brand new to this, so I will be updating my photos soon. Nice to meet you, have a great day!
oh no...I just showed JC the picture of him and jude and now he wants all of them...lol...he's crazy! I am so printing that out for jude's scrapbook..."went to a shoot with mommy"...lol
hiya lady. How've ya been? I needed to ask you, did I leave a pair of silver heels when I was down there? Shiny with a bow. I havn't been able to find em since I was there.

Isn't that mask the greatest!?! It's made from a company I model for. www.artwithlatex.com. Each piece is custom made and you can have different colors, sizes, etc. They also made the black necklace in that photo and the colorful sacred heart necklace in the fountain photos! THEY SOOOOOO ROCK! The best part is that you can wear a huge piece of jewelry but it's super light and lays well!
I am still interested in your offer to play with one of my photos; i don't have any preference as to which one (just that it's one of the latest collection). I shot them in a theatre dressing room, but couldn't find an '40s microphone as a prop. Do what with it. Surprise me!
For all the options (website, description, and photo) it's only $10 a year!!
Also, I was just talking to DC about how amazing your skill is... you should definitely consider advertising. Especially for your editing... WOW. You could take any meh photo and make it amazing! People would looove to know about that service. :)
Thanks for the fabulous picture comment-it's very much appreciated! I'm glad it wasn't a movie still though-it took me long enough to remove the very contemporary plastic drain pipes outside of the window from just this one shot...
