Pinup glamour girl

Introducing Melanie. She and I originally met online and quickly scheduled a Pinup type shoot.

Now I know that pinup images are very popular, but I rarely do them. They are usually very production heavy; involving multiple parties and expensive props.

These other parties consist of make up artist, prop masters, hair stylist, ect. Very few people work for free these days, and scheduling is a nightmare.

Melanie, who is a Marilyn Monroe impersonator here in San Diego was a bit different. She assured me that she was able to do her own hair and make up, and loved to shoot. She didn’t shoot for money either, but to make art. This was a breathe of fresh air!

Melanie wasn’t kidding about being able to do her own hair and make up. She showed up exactly as you see here and required very little editing. She was also a pleasure to shoot with. If your a photographer in the San Diego area you should definitely set up a shoot with her!

Unfortunately she isn’t on Model Mayhem at this present time, but she plans on getting an account soon.  I think we can all agree that she needs to get one!

Now this may come as a surprise, but do you know Melanie is 37% Chinese descent? Yes, I never would have guessed either. She is able to alter her appearance so drastically through the use of make up that its very hard to detect. Why is she not teaching make up skills? I have no clue.

When Melanie isn’t modeling she designs unique heels and plans on setting up shop on Etsy. She also makes radio appearances and levitates coffee cups.

Burlesque Temptress and NCIS

You all may remember Michele, she was the burlesque model who assaulted the infirm and elderly with lethal high heels.

What you may not know is that Michele and I submitted photos from the last shoot to a contest hosted by Temptress Fashion. Temptress Fashion is an awesome clothing boutique here in San Diego. They specialize in alternative, pinup, burlesque and working with the CIA to assassinate foreign dignitaries. One day I woke up, took a shower and then glanced at my phone. Their were about 7 notifications, this was unusual. I checked and lo and behold, Michele and I had won a $100.00 gift certificate! See, thats how awesome Temptress Fashion is to their customers!

After Michele picked up the gift certificate and redeemed it for a dress and a sexy corset at Temptress Fashion she called me up to schedule a shoot.

She said their was a problem though. Michele had recently been transferred to the old Detroit field office of NCIS and was chasing the cop killer and bank robber Clarence  Boddiker.

She and her partner had chased Clarence to an old factory and split up. However she was outsmarted and Clarence and his buddies had shot her to shit. She was being transported to the hospital where her employer Omni Consumer Products (OCP) had rebuilt her into a crime fighting super model.

She was programmed with three prime directives. 1. Serve the public trust. 2. Protect the innocent. 3. Uphold the law 4. CLASSIFIED

Before she went out on the road one of the OCP executives came up to her and said, “YOU ARE GONNA BE A BAD MOTHER FUCKER”.  Michele agreed, she loved to fuck peoples mothers.

Michele sent out to fight crime and get revenge on the people that shot her. One by one they all went down, Emil, Leon, until only Clarence was left. Ya see, their was a cancer in old Detroit. That cancer was crime, and Michele was the cure.

What Michele didn’t know is that Oni Studio and the CEO of Omni Consumer Products was in league with Clarence Boddiker.

When she found out she came to kill us. The only thing that saved us was directive 4, which results in immediate super model shut down in the event of an attempted murder/arrest of an Oni Studio executive.

Glamour college style

This glamour blog edition has nothing to do with the model. Well to be truthful very few of my entries have much to do with the model as I like to make up ridiculous stories. It’s more entertaining that way.

What I wanted to write about was a very curious phenomenon that I became afflicted with shortly after the shoot. I shot with Ashley; she was amazing to shoot with by the way. She complained at first that many photographers just seemed to want to center around her sexuality.

Now I can understand this, because as you can plainly see she is amazingly sexy. After she left I sat to work editing the photos and was soon done. Now after I get through editing I open up a word program and start scratching out a rough draft of the glamour entry. However, try as I might I couldn’t think of one thing to write. I’d eek out a few sentences, only to erase it all in disgust.

I must have written five or six different entries, and erased them all. Now during this time I started to lose more and more interest in about everything. I put my camera up, stopped visiting my website, stopped searching for models and barely checked my Facebook.

Before I came here to San Diego I lived in Greece. During that time I discovered P90X, and started working out every day. I continued that workout regimen here in San Diego, working out around six days a week. The reason I bring this up is that in addition to withdrawing from people I also stopped working out. I just couldn’t motivate myself to get up and do it.

I was getting worried because this isn’t normal for me. I began researching ways to help myself out of this slump. Mostly I was concerned about gaining weight and getting out of shape. I’m a single guy and it’s hard to attract girls when your stomach exits the door before you do.

So I feel like some kind of diseased alcoholic, trying to reprogram my psyche. I did what any normal person would do, order mood pills from Amazon.  Has it worked yet? I still have no idea, but I have started going back to Model Mayhem trying to schedule shoots and I spend a lot of time thinking about working out.

Anyway, I think thats enough whining and bitching on my part.

A little bit of behind the scenes at the shoot.

Get ready for some changes in 2014, i’ll be travelling a bit, and if my luck holds you guys will see some amazing work!

Glamour boudoir armageddon

 Introducing Jessica. She is the first successful glamour shoot I have had with Janeiro’s Models. So far it has been an awesome working with these guys. Usually I have to go find someone to shoot with on Model Mayhem. Email back and forth about 1000 times, and then finally shoot. Even with all that I still have to worry about the girl bringing an escort to rob me or bringing a sack full of meth in their purse.

With these guys the shoot process becomes much simpler. I just give Janeiro a call and tell him I have an opening. About ten minutes later he gives me call back and lets me know he’ll have a meth free model ready for a glamour shoot.

So Jessica shows up with a unique escort and is ready to shoot about ten minutes later. She had absolutely no fear of the camera, and had some awesome model poses.

Does anyone else think she bears a resemblance to Megan Fox? Lets hope not, because Jessica revealed to me that she planned on assassinating her.

Jessica, like many girls had thought about modeling since she was wee babe on her native planet of Vulcan. After she arrived on earth things didn’t go well for her and she had trouble assimilating. The other students hated her ability to read their minds and knock them unconscious simply by pinching their shoulder.

After discovering she was a basketball prodigy she quickly found acceptance. She became one of the best basketball players of her age. She even rivaled the likes of Peyton Manning.

Unfortunately for Jessica she received a terrible injury at age 16. She could no longer play basketball, but then something wonderful happened.

Jessica, astronaut/model. A woman barely alive. Gentlemen, we can rebuild her. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world’s first bionic model. Jessica will be that model. Better than she was before. Better, stronger, faster.

Yes you heard me correctly. Jessica is the worlds first android model. After she was rebuilt Sky-net sent her back. Her mission? Assassinate Megan Fox. I have no idea if she was ever successful in this mission.
