About the Nazi Pin-Up:
Please note that I do not seek to glorify war or the actions of the political leaders of the Third Reich. War is a terrible loss for both friend and foe as many survivors will attest. Growing up right after WWII, I was drawn to the imagery of Third Reich. The images they used, Iron Cross, Swastika and colors made them appealing to me in a graphic way. Sooooo... one of my projects was to see what I could do with those images and colors in a pin-up way. I have talked to a few friends (Jewish also) and everyone has encouraged me. So there it is, just a basic kinda war poster. What am I trying to say... believe it or not... simply, Bad Ass Sexy, (edit, your right Ken) Actually I'm going more for what it would be as if the Nazi's did Pin-Up, and sometimes more. And please... I am not a racist. Pushing it a little... yes, hopefully not too much. This is about Art. I mean no harm to anyone.
Again... this is about Art.

Hello everyone,
My name is Robert and I've been photographing people ever since I can remember. I just started doing this professionally about 6 years ago and I'm having a blast. I'm low key, very easy going and I have a somewhat dry sense of humor. I love to have fun and make jokes.
I really enjoy taking vintage type shots but enjoy all of it actually. 30-40's Hollywood type to artistic (tasteful) nudes.
Ok... As you can see I'm currently shooting Pin-Up. I have developed a style that I am happy with at last and if you are interested in shooting this style of Pin-Up, please feel free to message me. I really enjoy the art of Pin-Up, it's been a passion of mine since I first started photography.

Ok... just wanted to add... I do this because I LOVE it! I am just like a big kid when I'm shooting. I get excited about the images and can't wait to download them and start working on them to see what we got. It's a team effort and I have lots of support. Models, Makeup artists and fellow photographers. This is just the best thing I've ever done in my life. It's been quite a journey...
MODELS: Escorts are always welcome to my shoots. I have NO problem with this.
EDIT!
Sorry bout this, but I just have to request that even though Escorts are welcome, I prefer it not be your boyfriend or husband. I need your full attention and bf's and hubbys are just too much of a distraction.
Thanks for your understanding.
Robert
Hey Photographers... First and foremost thank you for all your praise. I really appreciate it. Unfortunately, at this time, I do not have the time or resources to respond to messages regarding what I do to my images (lighting, setup, photoshop, etc.). I really do apologize as it's difficult for me to say that without sounding like an A-Hole, which I am not. And, it has nothing to do with anyone personally, so please do not take it that way. Hopefully I can get a DVD together next year so anyone who wants to know what I do from beginning to end can purchase it and let the fun begin. By the way, It took me over a year of just trial and error to reach the style I currently do.
Thanks for your understanding,
Robert Alvarado
