Alvarado's Classic Modern Pin-Ups
Author: Robert Alvarado
Publisher: Schiffer Publishing Limited
ISBN: 9780764338922
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The essential collection of pin-ups from photographer Robert Alvarado. He subtly combines color, form, and style to create an allure that captivates onlookers and confounds fellow photographers. The influence of pin-up photography pioneers like Alberto Vargas and Gil Elvgren is clear, but throughout the 145 alluring examples of Alvarado's work, his signature approach to this classic form will impress you in a way that only modern photography can. A year of trial and error went into achieving the look presented here: luscious images with flat color and a shine that accentuates the models' key features. Through Alvarado's modern innovations, which are debated on photography blogs, he composes pin-ups with models in traditional poses, in clothes, lingerie, or tastefully nude, looking directly at the camera.

Alvarado's All-American Girls

ISBN: 9780764351419
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
Pop culture phenomena from the '80s and '90s, homages to Alberto Vargas and other classic pinup illustrations, and contemporary fashions and fetishes combine to form an exciting collection of modern pinups. Tributes to Baywatch, Rambo, Star Wars, Jessica Rabbit, and more late-20th century cultural references are included. This collection of over-the-top Americana also features standouts from Alvarado's Redneck Pinup series; provocatively posed pirates; beautiful calaveras makeup; leather jacket-wearing blondes; classy big-haired chicks with antique cars; a dynamite-wielding cowgirl; polo-playing preppies; sword-swallowing freaks; laser- and gun-toting steampunks; sultry nurses; elegant ballroom dancers; and more. Alvarado's belief is that it's all about the model; her image and pose are the most important elements in a composition, and he draws the viewer's attention to the models by employing a plain white background in many images.

Urban Nudes
Author: Kerry Clayton
Publisher: Bookbaby
ISBN: 9781667809724
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 110
Book Description
This book is a compilation of nude photographs taken from 2016 to 2019, entirely within the city limits of, primarily, New Orleans and New York City. A few were taken in Venice, Lisbon and Berlin. Outdoor photos show the Hudson or Mississippi Rivers, various parks, bayous, and reserves, or the streets of the cities. Indoor photos were shot in apartments, hotels, friend's homes or other venues, mainly in the New Orleans Warehouse District or New York's SoHo neighborhood. This book also contains a sampling of the Ice Demons series (think vampires, but with ice instead of blood!) This series grew out of a shoot for a womens group's Mardi Gras ball and took on it's own life! Forty-seven different models are included in this book. All photos were shot digitally and in color, using a Canon EOS 5D Mark III camera and, mainly, a Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L Zoom Lens.
