ON A PERSONAL LEVEL:
My biggest inspiration and the reason why I love pin-up and retro glamour photography comes from my Grandmother Jessie who raised me. I was fortunate enough to have that influence in my life from an early age in addition to an appreciation for old movies and music from the big band era. Growing up as a child in the 70's and being a big Evel Kneivel fan has had it's affect on me as well. I love portraying the influences that I grew up with in my work and inspiring my models and clients that have the same vision.

ON A PROFESSIONAL LEVEL:
Pin-Up Photographer for Rod and Kulture Illustrated Magazine http://www.rodandkulture.com

I am a freelance fashion, music/entertainment and editorial photographer with over 20 years experience. I shoot a wide variety of styles in the studio and on location. I specialize in modern fashion and pin-up/retro glamour. In addition, I offer complete model portfolios, promotional shots for actors/musicians and product photography for catalog work.

    HI Holly!

    I just love your work- I respect your attention to detail and beautiful compositions. And lighting that and arranging that satin (while keeping it from wrinkling)- oh! I shudder to think!

    Anyhow- nice to meet you!

    Hi Holly!

    That picture.... in you flip-book thing. The third one with the Dorthy looking girl.
    I have loved that picture since the forst second I saw it! I actually bought that magazine just for the cover shot.

    I love how the wall looks old and tough, the way it contrast with how the modle looks, all nice and sweet...

    I don't know s*** about photography, but I really like that photo.

    Have a great day!

    Jimmy :)
