Images of beautiful women existed long before we were inspired to call them pin-ups. Photography made them generally available, and Hollywood coined the phrase. Today we accept the term pin-up simply to mean a pleasing picture of a beautiful woman. Current fashions and moral climate insist that a stricter definition be self-imposed. It is this very subjectivity of interpretation, combined with the vast store of techniques at our disposal, that make the pin-up such a rich area of exploration for the photographer. The purpose of this book is to remove some of the mystique that surrounds the subject of pin-up photography. A clear and concise text describes equipment, techniques and special effects. It discusses some of the problems and pitfalls that may be encountered, and makes suggestions that should prove of interest to beginner, keen amateur and indeed anyone interested in photographing pretty girls. Over 310 superb colour pictures are reproduced to illustrate the diversity of this captivating subject, supported by captions that describe some of the underlying creative ideas involved and techniques employed. The photographs are all by top professional photographers whose work in the field is well known. They include shots taken in the studio, outdoors and on location, of nude, figure and erotic subjects as well as portraits. Some of the pictures are of an experimental nature whilst others are examples of commissioned or speculative work. This varied selection is intended to demonstrate the creativity and originality of the photographers, as well as to instil in the reader a little of the enthusiasm that these professionals show for their work.
