Classy pin up photography is a classy way to capture the beauty of the female form. The style is often associated with Old Hollywood glamour, and it typically features models posing in sexy, playful poses.

A pin-up girl or model today is different from their origins. Today, everyday women embrace the fashion, culture and community that comes with modern-day pin-up. For some, it has become an everyday lifestyle. Others will dress up for car shows, vintage festivals or other community events.
In the post-war era a pin up model was used to mass-produce images, mainly illustrations. These were used in calendars and advertising and became part of popular culture. These images often feature what is known as cheesecake poses.
Modern pin up photograpgy often tends to be boudoir or lingerie style shoots.
Pinup photography has been around since the late 1800s, but it didn’t become hugely popular until the 1950s. Pinup girls were typically pictured in pinup magazines or posters and dressed in revealing clothing.
The most popular pinups of the 1950s were Marilyn Monroe, Bettie Page, and Jayne Mansfield. These pinups helped to shape the sexual culture of the time, and they continue to influence popular culture today. It is still popular, and even entire websites are dedicated to it if you’re interested in learning more about this unique form of photography.
In the 1950s, pinup photography enjoyed a resurgence in popularity due in part to the growing popularity of pinup girls in popular culture. Magazines like Playboy and pinup artists like pinup girls were becoming more mainstream. This newfound popularity led to a demand for pinup photography.
Photographers began to specialise in pinup and studios began to pop up all over the country. Pinup girls became iconic figures in American culture, and their images graced the walls of many homes. The 1950s was a golden age for pin-up photography, and the pinup girl became a symbol of American sexuality.
The photography trend quickly became popular among teenagers and young adults. The photographs featured women in various stages of undress, posing in sensual or provocative positions. Many pinups were adorned with strategically placed props, such as bananas or balloons.
The pinup style was unique in that it was both sexy and playful, and it soon became a fixture of popular culture. In addition to being published in magazines and newspapers, pinups were also used as illustrations in advertising campaigns. In some cases, the pinup girls became celebrities in their own right, and their images continue to be coveted by collectors today.
Many times, I have been asked, “How do I become a pin-up model?” Here in Australia, there is a fantastic community of women, events and businesses to help. I am no expert, but I know many who are. It isn’t a secret club and everyone is welcome.
Youtube is your best friend to help you discover different styles. There are some great tutorials on hair, make-up and dressing to the era. Next is getting yourself registered for a best-dressed competition. There are usually held at car shows or vintage festivals around the country. The next stage is to perform on stage. This is a more significant step and not for everyone. The pinup pageant is a ritual that will help you bond with a close community of others who have been through the same.
You may be thinking already and maybe undecided about entering a pinup competition or pageant. A pinup contest can come in different forms. From simple stage walk, stage walk with pose to full performance. Pinup competitions are run by women for women. They promote body positive and empowering community! Women (and men) of all women of all shapes, and sizes from all walks of life to show off their personalities.

Retro pin up photography is a type of photography that recreates the classic pin up style of the 1940s and 1950s. The term “pin up” comes from the practice of pinning up photographs of attractive women on walls or calendars. he goal of retro pinup photography is to capture the retro style and glamour of the original pin ups while still maintaining a modern sensibility.
Today’s pin up modeling can be very different from the original style. The well-known classic poses were created to make a model seem tall, lean and not mean (in most cases). But they are also designed to accentuate feminine curves. These classics are the framework to the modern era. The pinup era was famous for its art and photography, giving rise to iconic women of the pinup era. It is important to note that every body part is “doing something” in a classic pose.
