The first time I became aware of the pin-up artwork of Alberto Vargas was with the release of the album, Candy-O, by the Cars in ’79. It was often mentioned how Vargas was brought out of semi-retirement to create this image.<\/p>\n

With that, my interest in pin-up artwork by the legends, Vargas and by Gil Elvgren<\/a>, was fired up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

This will also explain why I’ve been a fan of the photography of Robert Alvarado ever since I first saw his work. He clearly pays homage to those two artists.<\/p>\n

pin-up style photo session – trash-glam<\/h1>\n

Jessica and I have discussed doing some pin-up photo sessions for a while now. This is from the first photo session today, going for a trashy glam look.\u00a0Combined with her self-proclaimed let’s-get-Jessica-a-D700 fund, we’re even playing around with the idea of doing a calendar of pin-up photographs of her.<\/p>\n

Here is the pull-back shot of the set-up:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Two Quantum flashes lit up the background. \u00a0The main light was with a 3×4 softbox nearly over-head of me. \u00a0Working within a small area set up with a back-drop, I wanted the light as even as possible. \u00a0I wanted to flood the place with light. That’s all there is to it, really.<\/p>\n

Equipment used during this photo session:<\/p>\n

Nikon D3; \u00a0 Nikon 24-70mm f2.8 AF-S<\/a> (B&H);
\nProfoto AcuteB 600R power pack<\/a> (B&H); \u00a0Profoto 3×4 softbox<\/a> (B&H)
\nRed-Wing light-stands; \u00a0Pocket-Wizard Plus II Tranceiver<\/a> (B&H)
\n.. and a bunch of Quantum gear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
