Last year on December 20th, we held our very first Pin-Up Photography Session and instantly we fell in love. We knew that this was our passion. It was kind of ironic that we had called ourselves Vintage Photography prior to doing Pin-Up and Film Noir photography, but everything seemed to fall into place!
Our story is likely a lot like many other photographers, we liked photography, we learned it and we dabbled in everything to see what we loved most. Chad originally started photographing cars and old buildings and editing in HDR. I, on the other hand, loved pet photography...probably because I am a fur mommy of two cats. I also learned all types of photography through my Digital Photography Diploma program. We started branching out into taking photographs of our friends and family and quickly learned that we loved the reaction we received from them when we they loved their photographs.
We then began photographing and learning more about glamour photography and practiced our craft with a very good friend of mine, Cassidy who was starting her modeling career. We knew we were on to something....but our story gets better...or creepier....
One evening, Chad and I were working in our offices in two separate rooms of the house. We had both been looking at photography online and almost simultaneously we shouted to each other, "hey, what about pin-up photography?" And so our journey into actual vintage photography was born. It was kind of a bonus that we had named ourselves that...or a creepy coincedence. We wanted to adopt a style of editing that paid tribute to the likes of Alberto Vargas and Gil Elvgren. Our pin-up photography is edited with a cartoon painted finish. It does take us much longer to edit, but we love the result and it is a little more unique in Edmonton. We expanded our vintage style into Film Noir and Old Hollywood Glamour as well (which was also popular in the 1940s and 50s).
So in honor of reaching our first year anniversary doing what we love, we are holding a Like,
Share & Win Facebook Contest for
the month of December! It is our way of giving back and saying thank you to all of the wonderful people we met this past year. It has been an absolute dream come true for us to photograph in this style.
