p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · 1950s pinup and burlesque

For this set I was varying widely in post-processing. Some are intended to be 50s style that you would see on poster and the remainder were intended to be a sexy look that you would find in a burlesque club. Feel free to C&C or provide examples of some 50s pinup style for further inspiration/direction.

The remainder of the gallery is here watsonphotography.ca/burlesqueGallery

Use of negative Clarity looks not quite right in #1.

#2 is great.

Not loving her belly below the camera in #1. The angle makes her look like a Weeble with legs. Not flattering to her shape. Maybe crop to just below the camera.

Alvarado used to post on here. Have not seen him for awhile. He is one of the best in the business at this type of photography.

He had a couple pull-back from one of his shoots posted on here. He used 5 lights.

As far as yours. Number 1: because she is bending over you see her gut. Have her suck it in or different pose. There seems to be some type of filter applied in PS that is not my taste.
Two could benefit from a back light.
The models could be a little more animated. Thats what sells the shot with pinup photography.

My two-cents for what its worth.
