Vogue you and Pin-Up too!
Well who wouldn’t want to look like they just have just walked out of one of the pages of a Vogue magazine fashion shoot! Well I can’t really add those extra inches of height (if you need them) but it is amazing just how good you can look when you get to work on set with a real fashion photographer and a great Hair and Make-up Artist. In 2007 I had the pleasure of photographing quite a number of girls making their first tentative steps in the world of modelling. Did we get great shots regardless of the models experience? You bet! And we even did pretty well with the girls doing their make-up themselves on occasion as with the shots below. And from what I was told at the end of most shoots apparently I am a pretty cool guy too!
I was also recently asked if I could shoot in a Pin-Up style. My reply was that Antonio Vargas had been quite an inspiration for me. I am fortunate to have a lovely hardcover edition of his complete work for Esquire magazine that has been quite well but carefully thumbed over the years. Pin-Up photography is of course all about the styling and the light. Possibly light first to get that lovely smooth Pin-Up feel and the right outfits are a must. Yes I am more than happy to shoot Pin-Up which in some ways, at lest as far as the Esquire paintings by Vargas & Petty go are right up there as ‘white background’ studio style works.
Pin-Up style was in part inspiration for my Mode swimwear editorial way back in 1990! And last year I made a return to the style with the rather sweet heel kicking shot of MzDanie in the studio.
Knitwear is cool even in the summer heat. My last commission for 2007 was an in-store knitwear catalogue, men’s and women’s wear which we shot in the lead up to Christmas. Lisa Sciberras worked on hair, make-up and grooming and even though it quite warm the shooting went very well. Unfortunately I can’t post the work until the catalogue is released in late January 2008. More about this wonderful work then.
And last but not lest by any means, one of my favourite Hair and Make-Up artists Lisa Sciberras has her own web site up ‘at last!’ Its www.envythelook.com, I am turning green already.
