Pin-up Girl

Model: Christa

Location: Liberty Bell in San Pedro CA 2010

I used Christa as a model for a victory roll demo in beauty school. I can't stand my photography, but her hair came out SO freakin cute!!! She makes for a great pin-up model because she has that sexy hour glass shape and tight tummy. NOT to mention all the tattoos. Cute pic, little sailor girl!<3Alexia

Andi Martens

This girl has gorgeous crispy blue eyes, but she looks so timeless in black and white, I couldn't go with color. All accessories belonged to her Grandmother :) LOVE LOVE LOVE! <3Alexia

Alice (in her modeling wonderland)

Model: Alice

Location: Apartment in Lawndale CA 2008

This was another paid shoot, but I wasn't happy with the photography. This is when I start getting frustrated with being a photographer with little knowledge and low-end equipment. This image ended up fine, I guess, but I also feel that ALL images are going to come out similar to the attitude and experience of the model and this one was just dull. I couldn't agree more with Tyra when she calls out "just another girl with a pretty face". Not model material. Whatever. My concept and my hat.

My Little Cherry Bomb, Christina

Model: Christina Shank

Location: Apartment in Lawndale CA 2008

I remember being very satisfied with everything when I shot this one. I used Gwen Stefani as inspiration for her swirl up top. These images came out so darling. If I were to do anything different, I would probably change out my lighting system and change the color of the gloves and tights so she wouldnt be so washed out. Overall, :)

Model: Asma

Location: My house, Lawndale CA 2008

Paid Job and I can't remember how she found me on the internet, but she called me and we set it up. Her images weren't for anything inparticular, but she photographed well. I adore her weightless curls. Good job, Me. Im proud of my work even prior to beauty school.  This was a fun day of shooting because all we did was take the reflector out with us on a walk and shot a ton of images in the neighborhood.

Hair, Makeup, Photography & Retouching by ME :)

I started messing around with pin-up photography somewhere around '08-'09. I worked with mostly girls I knew through school or other friends. This is Melody. We went to high school together in Redondo Beach, CA. Her high school love's good friend was obsessed with me for quite some time, so I some how ended up hanging out with her because of him. She was a great sport and actually gave me a lot to work with. This location is between her house and a wall dividing property. I love how its a racey shot but still has this potential of playing it safe. Thanks, Mel. Hope all is well with the new life...
