More recent times!

I want to also look at some more up to date images with dancer like Immodesty Blaize, Dita Von Teese


Magnus Hastings is a london based photographer who works with many burlesque dancers in particular Immodesty Blaize!

Being a Burlesque dancer she knows how to pose so i imagine alot of the poses were thought up by her rather than the photographer, but i like the way she works with many of the classic poses, the lying on her front with legs up at the back is very classic pin up, aswell as the classic shocked almost blow up doll type face!

These are all poses i would like to re create!

Dita Von Teese- Danielle Bedics

 Looking classically vintage in black and white!

 Classic pose, props and candy colour backdrop!

 Again Classic Pose, Props and candy backdrop!

 Shot on set rather than in a studio!

Candy Backdrop

The photographer Danielle Bedics has shot the famous Dita Von Teese many times i really like his style as he uses the classic candy colourd back drops that were a very signature look of the pin up photgraphy when colour photography came in, i like the idea of using this in my own work (however i thnk i would like to shoot on location, at the moment i am looking at Dingles Fairground Heritage Museum, as i have modelled for vintage shoots here myself and it would make a perfect location!)

 Dingles Museum!

I want to use classic Props like fans, parasols and have the model dressed in traditional style so corsets, frilly knickers gloves and heals!
I would like to use a soft light on the model to make it more Vintage looking giving it that hollywood look! i may also shoot many of the images in black and white to add the older look to the images!
Pose wise i will leave it mostly up to my model as she is also a burlesque dancer and knows what looks good!
