We all want to see Snow White with tattoos, right? Well, at least
photographer Robert Alvarado does. In his newest collection of
high-octane pin-up images, Alvarado shows how his own style of
shooting and editing, which has been called cartoonish,
illustrated, and painted marries perfectly with cosplay. In more
than 150 vibrant, color images, see Alvarado's take on this pop
culture phenomenon as he captures models "cosing" as characters
from Buck Rogers, Deadpool, Star Wars, your favorite D.C. and
Marvel franchises, and much more. From fantasy to sci-fi and Disney
to video games, the models embody and costume many beloved
characters while striking traditional and contemporary pin-up
poses. Complete with some behind-the-scenes shots and details on
Alvarado's approach to working with the models, this is the perfect
collection of images for fans and students of pop culture and
pin-up photography.
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.
Since Alvardo's Pin-Up Nudes was first published in 2013, it has
become a bestseller in pin-up photography. In this second edition,
Alvarado uses his trademark innovative technique to blur the line
between photography and illustration. Relying on subtle costuming
to add color, texture, humor, and homage to his images, Alvarado
focuses on the female form in these 160+ pin-up nudes. From
providing heavily inked and stilletoed beauties to sexy Storm
Troopers and the innocence of the girl next door, Alvarado uses his
creativity in themes, models, and styling to produce work steeped
in popular culture with nods to the pioneers of pin-up, including
Alberto Vargas and Gil Elvgren.
