Luckily pin up has many styles. Terry and I have often used the same models because finding girls with the right look is quite difficult. There are pockets of the country that seem to be blessed with more retro girls than here in Essex. The Elvgren poses are all painted so he was able to often put the girls in situations that are near impossible to achieve in real life, he also bent body shapes here and there to make them more pleasing to the eye. I have seen near perfect copies of his work using modern models but they are CGI works of art more than photographs. Although Bettie did do cute 'cheesecake' her photo club pics are a little more rough around the edges bordering on soft porn. I dont shoot that often as although there are plenty of attractive retro models around, I prefer girls with a certain naughty character and sparkle. In the past I have used models who lacked expression and the results havent had the impact I wanted. Larger than life works for me. So tell me about your forthcoming projects? x
