They perfectly capture the innocent allure of pin-up cartoons of the era.
No, I meant cartoons. But I didn't mean it as a pejorative and don't think you should spin it that way, My Friend.Forgotten Man said:Cartoons? I believe you mean illustrations. A cartoon is an exaggeration; pictures making fun of something or someone.
Pin-up art of the period I believe were painted, lots of work would go into the composition and it took a true artist such as Vargas, Petty, Elvgren and Zoe to accomplish capturing a model's beauty.
Beautiful photos here; simple, beautiful and smart pictures.

They're pinups but there's no nudity so I hope they're alright to post.

Congratulations again Johanna, great pic :eusa_clap
All the more impressive, Johanna. Professional photographers cannot get results like that. :eusa_clapJohanna said:Thank you! And I've just got to say that it was very easy to take these photos myself. I just set the background up in a bed, used no other lighting except the bedroom window, and used a camera with a self timer (Pentax Optio WP to be exact, it's great!) that I propped up on a table across the room. very simple!
And thank you to everyone else too!
