This is just a sample of the high quality and amazing real film look and dreamy out of focus Bokeh backgrounds that the Digital Leica M8 gives together with my vintage lenses ~ an exclusive style that I offer now to all models here in Central Florida.

MY LATEST PET PROJECT:



My planned Leica Camera Homage to one of my personal idols
(and yes it's so true we BOTH share Birthdays! *December 3rd*) ~ the French New Wave Cinema`s greatest director
  Jean-Luc Godard, and in honoring his 1962 Film masterpiece
"Vivre sa Vie: Film en Douze Tableaux"
("My Life To Live: A Film in Twelve Scenes")
starring  Godard's then wife and on screen muse' Anna Karina.

"Vivre Sa Vie" is the story of a Parisian wannabe actress named Nana, who after several failed attempts to find acting work, drifts into the seedly sorted life of prostitution,  a determined but hopelessly lost young woman who's life ends in tragedy.....it is one of Godard`s best BUT often unseen films.



So I`m looking for that sexy black haired "bobbed" Anna Karina look for this shoot, I will provide all the wardrobe to be done in stylish early 1960's "Euro" posh/casual , I even have REAL vintage French cars to work into this production as well.



ATTENTION!  ~ I also want three or four MALE models and an additional three or four FEMALE  models for fitting in differnet roles.

And I'm STILL SCOUTING locations from Gainesville to Tampa/Ybor/Plant City, Orlando and possibily St. Augustine or Miami for the right early 1960's atmosphere ~ fellow Photographers imput would be helpful


a rare "behind the scenes" shot of Anna Karina (Nana) between takes during the filming.



This project is as much acting as it is modeling ~ interested models write me directly please.

And here's a link to a fu*king brilliant film and music montage, with the English alternative rock band from High Green, Sheffield ~ The Arctic Monkeys ~
"When The Sun Goes Down" set to the highlights of the movie
~ this 2006 song was like composed as a perfect match for this Godard movie only 47 years AFTER!  unreal  ~ special thanks to Mattyeuh for this amazing montage  ~ Enjoy!

...and I've been told by an "insider" that Janus Films will be releasing a freshly fully restored version of this film from original 35mm film stock, new to DVD in early 2010?
~  I'm keeping my fingers crossed   ~ This will be my late Christmas Present to myself LOL!!!!!

Here's A Little Something About Who's Influenced Me and My Style

My style Influences come from many different sources......

I have loved and collected Vargas and Petty Girl Prints and Calendars since I was 12 years old also vintage 1950's and 60`s  "girlie" magazines, vintage cameras, clothing and props
and I've always admired work from these famous Photographers of the original PinUp Glamour/Camera Club era and beyond,  namely....... Peter Gowland, Bill Hamilton, Bunny Yeager,  Ron Vogel, Russ Meyer, Serge Jacques, André Belorgey, Roland Carre, George Harrison Marks, Irving & Paula Klaw, John Willie, Eric Kroll  and last but certainly not least the late great Elmer Batters......there's also the fact that vintage cinema has had a great influence on my personal style, derived in works from English Director Carol Reed and French New Wave Directors Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut, then add this all up with  my personal love for everything Retro and like a good martini blend together and shake very well and this is what I call

Ladies And Gentlemen Welcome To Violence.......with Jacquelynne Vlasis MM#1352262



"it's easy for a girl to kill a lot of people.......there's no reason why soft breasts and thighs should keep her from killing everybody to stay free or defend herself....."
(A quotation from Anna Karina's character (Marianne Renoir) expressed in  Jean-Luc Godard's movie masterpiece "Pierrot le Fou" from 1965)

************************************

And now for something completely different........

Once opon a time there were two gals who were my personal assistants, they sweat and toiled, worked under relentless pressure, never took breaks and ended up with blistered hands from reloading all my Leica's, but now they both have become very accomplished and talented Photographer's

***I have devoted fans of my work worldwide, it makes me very happy to see that people enjoy my photographs and here's what some fellow photographer`s and models have to say about me and my work***

~ It was of the greatest HONOR that one of my IDOLS and inspirations and  one of America's  greatest photographer's  who has driven my career from the very beginning PERSONALLY would say this to me.... ~

"You are a very fine photographer.  What I noticed most about your work is that you tend to find creative angles to shoot your models.  This is good because most photographers don't do this as it is too much work for them.  Keep doing it, it is a good style."

Bunny Yeager
(The renowned and world famous PinUp and Glamour Photographer, who photographed Bettie Page, Maria Stinger, Diane Webber and many of the TOP glamour models and Playboy Playmates of all time)

~Thank you Bunny, you are an amazing and wonderful woman~

.

"You shot me just like the original Petty pinup girl painting and now that photo is a tattoo on my husbands arm, thanks a million for this great photo shoot, it took 2 years to find the right photographer, but we did when we found you."

Bettie Bullet

.

"Tom is a great photographer and a fantastic guy. If you have the chance to shoot with him dont pass it up. You will not regret it"

Chandra Otto

.

"Super Awesome guy, I absolutely love working with him! I met him at TattooFest randomly and ever since we've hit it off GREAT! He's really fun to work with and his work is fucking magnificent! He makes sure that every image that was taken looks absolutely perfect! He works around people's schedules, and let me tell you, mine is hectic as all hell right now, and he's so damn understanding about everything! Really, if you're ever in the area (Central Florida) you NEED to hook up with KGS! You wont regret it!"

Rexy Rage

.

"Working with Tom is always fun and spontaneous. His
enthusiasm for what he does and his unique approach makes for timeless photographic moments. He has carved a niche
for himself stylistically and that is a tough thing to
do these days."

Lana Landis

.

"I love your work. just wanted you to know that you are a big inspiration to me.
The one thing that I love about you in particular is that your work is so honest. it's just in your face, the real deal! when I look at your images, I just know you eat, breathe, and live what you do....and that is awesome."

Lesley Slenning

"The pictures are wonderful!!!!!!!!"

Mark and Mary
(From the Ecurie Sport Vintage Porsche Racing Team from Wisconsin with whom I work with every year at the Sebring Historics)

.

"There are so many words that can describe Tom`s sense passion for his art; I truly foresee his work as classic, witty and graceful, his pictures are taken in modern times put into a time capsule, mixed about and brought back out into the style that`s become his very own, his photography and artistic style is something that was born in him, not taught."

Lola Horta

.

"Tom from Kool Girlie Stuff Photography is one of the most energetic, fun-loving photographers I have worked with.  We are always incredibly productive and we laugh the entire shoot!  The work is high quality, and Tom's style is unique and eye-catching.  He's the master of shooting awesome angles and his love for retro/vintage images will bring him far in the industry.  If you have the opportunity, shoot with this man!  You need his name in your portfolio!!!!!!!!"

His first priority is having fun and making girls giggle & smile.

Margit Hausmann

.

"Tom Eitnier is a truly gifted photographer.  His passion for his photography shows through in all of his work.  Tom has the ability to create a scene in one's mind with a single photograph.  The energy, vision, and charisma that he brings to each photo shoot allows for a great work enviornment and a wonderful experience."

Carrie Anne Thompson

.

"I have been working with Tom Eitnier of KGS since 2002, when I was a wee 18 years young! We still work together presently, and he has taken almost all of my photos! He works with me, and works with what I want, as well as what he wants... that way everyone is happy. He understands that I'm a picky brat about my photos, too! His photos have made me look the most beautiful I could ever look, and I can't begin to put into words what that does for me as a person. It's a priceless feeling! I look forward to working with Tom for as long as I continue to model! Thanks Tom!!!"

Veronica Vaughn

.

"Tom is an absolute joy to work with. He is so respectful, so professional, and I always end up having a great time with him (not to mention he always makes me look a million times hotter than I actually am.)
He's a great colleague and an even better friend... Tom, you are, as I always say, THE MAN."

Emma Savage
(Model & Photographer~

.

"Tom Eitnier is simply one of the best photographers of our time. He has the ability to not only take phenomenal retro photos, but he makes those photographs seem absolutely REAL. What you get when you work with Tom is an authentic result. He is a pleasure to be around and to work with and I look forward to our next session.
I LOVE being a KGS Girl! Tom you are the BEST!"

Merlot
"The Vintage Vixen"

.

"I`m so loving your photos, they definably have a way different edge than other retro/pin-up photographers... some of them look like they were taken in the 50's or 60's."

Shelley Smatana

.

"It was a wonderful experience working with you, I was very comfortable working in full artistic nude work, the photos are beautiful and models please note that Tom is a gentleman, professional and quite simply a genius."

Inge Sorenson-Mardenstock

.

"Tom's work is amazing! I did a few shoots with him back in 2003 and he never ceases to amaze me with his talent. He was very professional, nondemanding & lets the model do what comes natural. I would recommend him to any model out there looking for something different & certainly unique. Thanks Tom! Looking forward to shooting again in the future."

"Yo your the greatest!!!"
Giana Bella

.

"Tom was a pleasure to work with - professional, enthusiastic and dedicated to originality - whatever era he chooses to shoot in! I have never had so many compliments about one set of pictures, it's just a shame he lives so far away that we can't work together more often!"

Lenore
(TV Hostess and alternative/retro model from the UK)

.

"Tom Eitnier and I worked together for many many years shooting PinUp and Retro styles, it was a very enjoyable experience and always lot`s of fun and excitement for me, we did air shows and car shows and I had the chance to work with lot`s of rare airplanes and cars, there was something new every time we got together for photos and never ever a dull moment, I was Tom`s *Muse* for many years
I have since retired from modeling due to making other career choices in my life, but the time I spent working with Tom will  be a time I will dearly remember and cherish, full of great times and the keepsake of his beautiful photos for always - Thanks So Much Tom!"
