Influenced mostly from boyhood glimpses of pin-up calendars in garages, detective magazines in barber shops I try to recreate the soft porn/pin-up of the era.

Most of my work is film b/w or sepia - I don't touch-up work unless the client asks. I feel if I can't create it in the camera or on the set then I'm not a true photographer. I've appreciated beautiful/artful/sexy women and been a voyeur all my life, the camera gives me the tool & my life of experiences gives me the direction to try and create jaw dropping images that make others awww.

    Thanks for the ADD!!! Awesome shots that you have done. I own a 1986 GMC Sierra that I work on off and on. Also, me and my Pops are working on a 1964 Chevy truck together. We started from the frame up. We recently added the motor and tranny, and some primer. I haven't got around to taking any pics yet. Been kind of busy. By the end of the year I want to finally get a 1965 Ford Thunderbird, or a 1959 Chevy Apache.

    Hi Chuck!
    Just wondering if I'll ever see some photos from our shoot?

  • Kiley BaZooms

    Anytime! I really like your photos! I'm working on uploading the last of the pictures from my shoot with my cousin Trixie, we took a week and did a few different shoots so we got a ton of them. I still have another 50 or so to load and then I have some that I did with a friend from high school so there will be plenty to come.

    Oct 19, 2010

  • Kiley BaZooms

    Sure can. Unfortunately I have to wait for my own computer to get fixed, I'm borrowing my Dad's and it just doesn't cut it at all. The only post work my cousin really did was making some of them old-style or high-lighting the colors that were there already, this was the first big shoot for both of us and everything was kind of what we could find and fanagle with the lighting and backgrounds but I think we did alright for ourselves

    More pics are posted

    Hi Chuck - thanks for the lovely comment with respect to my photography. You have some great work in your port as well. Where is your studio located? I may be looking for a studio in Northern California (I'm from there actually). Would like to here more about that when you have time. Just send me a message on here.

    Thanks and have a good weekend!

    no prob, Chuck! I am trying to make a real point of sharing the love with all my fans/friends on here because, well, what's the point if we don't give each other feedback, you know? & what better way to get to know your peeps than to check out what they've posted. Yes, I would LOVE to shoot sometime! I'm still wearing a cast on my wrist & poor Edson Carlos had to deal with that at our shoot. So after I get my cast off I definitely want to get back to snazziness! :)

    Thanks again for the lovely words about Fox in a Foxhole! For a 47 year old woman, it means alot!! And thankfully, Glenn only has to do minimal magic in editing!! As amateurs, the validation is awesome. Much love. Suzie

    p.s. Glenn says all the compliments will force him to purchase a wide angle lens so my head will fit in the shot!! haha

    Hey Chuck, where is your studio? I'm pretty familiar with Alameda, but unfortunately I haven't heard of any "pin-up activity" going on here! That's why I started the group, its surprisingly hard to find events where us pin-ups can meet and socialize...anyway if you  wanted to pass the word on to any of your models, that would be just fabulous! The idea is to have pin-ups be able to socialize for nights out, events, shopping, and YES photo shoots! Thanks for your interest and have yourself a lovely weekend!
