Pin-up was the theme this week

The theme this week was pin-up.  It seems that pin-up photographs may over take boudoir photos as the leading gift for this holiday season.  It is easy to see why when you look at how fun these photos can be.

Let’s face it, who wouldn’t want to get a fun pin-up art piece of the woman they love.

Family portraits are also very popular for the holidays.  Families come together and it is the prefect time to get some photos of everyone.   You never know what is going to happen.

What a fun week

I had an amazing array of clients over the past week.  I have numerous students take private photography lessons.   I really enjoying helping other photographers develop their photography skills.

An old friend from high school need senior portraits for her daughter.  We did a mix of location and studio shots.  It was fun to catch up while her daughter was changing outfits.

Also this week a shot a great deal time enjoying time as a pin-up photographer.   Pin-up is always a lot of fun for everyone involved.  Lots of laughing going on as we try to capture those flirty looks of classic pin-up.

I take the base photo from the shoot and convert it to an pin-up illustration using way too many steps in Photoshop.  I like the end result, so I will keep doing it.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.   I know I ate too much.

Pin-up Dolls

One of the most fun I had this week was shooting the Phoenix Pin-up Dolls.  The group came to see me because they like the retro styling I give to my pin-up photography.  Here is a quick shot of the entire group.

As you can see I had blast shooting this group of pin-up ladies.  This next photograph is an example of the styling that I give my pin-up work.

As you can see, I convert the image from a photograph to a graphic with a retro styling.  It adds some fun to the image, and pin-up is all about fun.  Of course being a bit sexy is part of it too, but it must be very tasteful to be true to form.

Tasteful images are also what makes great boudoir photography too.   Show too much and the image loses it sexiness.   Hinting is key, and that is where my experience comes creating these sexy intimate photos becomes important.

Next week has a few surprises coming.  With my clients permission, you might just see something very unexpected from me.


Boudoir and Pin-up Photography

Fun week again working with some amazing people.   A few returning headshots clients.   Found out a future model and beauty queen I shot won most photogenic.   Glad I was able to help her learn a bit about how to work in front of the camera.

Of course I also shot some boudoir and pin-up photographs this week.

Pin-up photography is always fun.  The flirty and sexy images  are the beginnings of modern boudoir photography fantasies.   The great thing about pin-up, is it still is a great art that is making a comeback.


Pin-up, Fine Art Nudes and More!

Another very busy week here at Orcatek Photography! Shot several amazing women in boudoir and glamour photography sessions. There are going to be some very happy guys out there soon!

And of course there was more classic pin-up photography. This style is becoming very popular and is a lot of fun to shoot.

Of course there were some headshots for some future stars. Fun shoots as they are always so full of personality.

And I also did some fine art nude photography. These images are often requested by my clients as additions to their boudoir photography sessions.

Looking at next week’s schedule it should be another great week with lots of variety.


Pin-Up Classic – Telephone

Pin-up photography is so much fun and this week I shot several shoots. When creating pin-up photographs, I often look over some of the great pin-ups through the years. One common theme is pin-up girl with telephone. So of course it is one of the photographs that I create.

Classic pin-ups were done by talented artists, often based on photographs. The artist then created the final pin-up using their creative vision to produce the final image. As a photographer I create my pin-ups in a similar way. I base the image on a photograph which I then process to create the final pin-up image. It is time consuming, but I like the end result.


Creating a classic pin-up

When creating a classic pin-up photograph, there often is a sub-story in the shot. The pin-up needs a “reason” for being there. In this case she was going on a picnic. The client brought a classic car to the studio which really helped to sell the notion of a classic pin-up, and gives the photographer some great creative options.

Of course, some classic-looking lingerie along with some fishnet stockings and we are on our way to making this pin-up photography work. There is nothing more seductive than wearing sexy stockings with different accessories, as this can really help the picture, and your vision, come to life. This type of lingerie can do wonders for the female body and enhancing the attraction that people could feel towards it.

Ultimately, embodying a pin up is all about celebrating the female form in all its glory. You might even want to take a look at some adult content from a website such as https://www.collegeporn.xxx/ to inspire your next pin up shoot.

Whether it is modern boudoir or classic pin-up photography, I like to keep the image really focused on the person. So props are used minimally, and in the case for example we only see a small portion of the car to keep the focus on the beautiful pin-up.


BBQ Pin-up

One of my boudoir photography clients last month wanted me to do a fun BBQ pin-up for valentines.   As a boudoir photographer herself, she knew there was one photographer that she would go to for her pin-up photographs – Orcatek Photography.

Of course the pin-up was a surprise, so she requested I wait until after valentines day before I showed it here on my blog.

As you can see we had a great time creating this photograph and many others.  When I create pin-up boudoir images I like to process them to create the effect of them being graphic art like some of the classic pin-ups of the past.
