Pinup....in all styles and themes.

I work with a team that includes my wardrobe designer/stylist and our MUA in designing and shooting all projects.  Our interests are evident in this portfolio; retro and neo glamor styles including 50's through 90's pin-up, punk, club/rave, Asian, goth, leather, steampunk, sci-fi, and edgy looks.  We create and develop wardrobe, props, and settings for these specific themes.

We have a combined wardrobe of over 350+ outfits and some 200+ pairs of shoes and boots.  Wardrobe designer, Tracy of Exotic Rose Designs (MM# 1452413), is my shooting partner and she makes the majority of the outfits in found our wardrobe.  We add off the rack clothing and accessories to complement what we have and enhance the number of available shooting options.  It's very common for us to make something new for a model for every shoot we book.   

All aspects of a photography project are discussed well in advance of the actual date of the shoot.  We give you a full understanding of what is expected and prefer to collaborate with models, not dictate everything about a shoot to them.  Tracy handles all wardrobe and our MUA handles all makeup and hair styling at every shoot.

Contact us for bookings, we have very reasonable rates and insure you get high quality pinup images with looks and styles not found elsewhere.

Tracy of Exotic Rose Designs MM# 1452413 is the teams wardrobe designer.  She is extremely talented, an excellent designer, and is only satisfied with a well done project.  She's skilled in many styles and can do pinup/rockabilly dresses, club/rave, retro/neo, military/steampunk, PVC, and the like.  If you're looking for someone creative, professional, and reliable, look no further.  Contact her, she has terrific ideas and you'll be very happy with her work.


Rates and Bookings:

If we contact you about shooting with us, we are intending to pay you a reasonable rate for your work.  We believe in paying for your professionalism, capabilities, and experience. If you require travel expenses, while we cannot offer you the moon, we will work with you to determine a fair compensation for both travel and shooting that works for you and for us. 

Unless you are a very well-known, in-demand model, with a long list of credits and experience, you can expect us to turn down 99.9% of all trade requests.  Our paid bookings have exceeded available scheduling time and we accept requests for TFCD shoots only in the rarest of circumstances.  We are sorry, but trade work no longer fits into our business model. 

All models are welcome to inquire about booking us for their personal projects, enhancing portfolios, and private shoots.  Contact us, we have very reasonable rates and options we can offer you.

Nudes and Implied Nudes: We prefer to hire models who can do pinup nudes or implied nudes. When we choose to include them, the vast majority of nudes we shoot are pinup implied, with the occasional topless or bare butt image.  While we prefer to have the option, we do not require nude/implied as a condition for working with us.  If you state upfront during negotiations that you don't do nudes or implied, rest assured you will never find us pressuring you about shooting them after you have already said no.

Escort Policy: We do not allow escorts/companions at a shoot or in the studio without prior approval.  Anyone we haven't previously cleared to be present at a shoot will be politely asked to leave.  If you absolutely must have an escort with you, you will need to make that very clear from the beginning.

We never shoot anyone in a one-on-one setting (photographer/model), no exceptions.  Tracy is present at all times to assist you with wardrobe and our MUA handles all your hair and makeup needs.  Both will assist you in posing if necessary. 

We encourage you to check our references as we are a highly professional team with a well established and unblemished track record.  Contact us for bookings, rates, and other information on how we work and how we can give your portfolio high quality looks not found elsewhere.
