Shoot Sexy: Pinup Photography in the Digital Age


The pinup look made famous on WWII bombers and in the 50s is a timeless classic now undergoing a revival through digital photography. Alongside the rapid growth of Boudoir genre-also covered in this book-the retro pinup look is an increasingly popular request from clients, and this book will show you all you need to know to achieve it, whether you're shooting professionally, or just for fun.

This book is a complete guide to planning and shooting both pinup and boudoir photography, from a studio or on location, including crucial advice on sourcing and using props to get the perfect retro look, or getting the most out of your lens and lighting to capture a more modern look. There is an inspirational gallery chapter, featuring work of different artists so you try and many different styles as you like, as well as a chapter featuring Photoshop techniques for perfecting the look of your shots. Some of the tutorials are tailored for speed, others for comprehensive control; you pick one to suit your needs.

This book is everything you need to shoot timeless, sexy images, some fun, some more artistic, and whether you're a working professional or you've only ever shot landscapes before, you'll find all the information you need, written by a real pro.

The prevalence of technique-oriented boudoir books shows that there is a lot of interest in this area, but there are no books that emphasize pin-up, which is a hot topic right now.
Websites that connect photographers with models are exploding in popularity, which is indicative of this growing trend. ModelMayhem.com has over 2 million members.
A complete posing guide as well as a digital editing section makes this book very practical in addition to its fun and trendy pick-up appeal.
