About our private ARTWORK sessions

Kitty KissesalohamacawSinCityBrettooochocolateBubblesbabe

As of January '11 we have new session prices and details!

Virtual Photography can include Vintage Pin-Up ARTWORK style images, fantasy/fairy images, superhero art, vampire art, pets and children creative.

It all begins with a consultation to discuss You :) and how our custom artwork can be created in a way that will express you and your personality. Some people enjoy using their interests and hobbies in their image, while others enjoy becoming their alter ego. Our goal is to find out your preferences so that you will be proud to display our artwork.

We have several props and wardrobe pieces available but together we will plan for your photos and come up with as many unique ideas as possible. We highly encourage use of your own outfits & shoes when possible so that it fits you perfectly.

The day of the session we will provide stylists to help you become the character you choose. After the photo taking is complete we will proof the images together and select which images will be used in your artwork. We do not provide unedited images from these sessions to our clients.

Artwork takes time, we provide a magazine style edit to each individual using your preferences as a guide to measure the amount of editing we do for you. Artwork is not portraiture, we can alter any specific areas you'd like and it is included (aka ladies - virtual boob job, tummy tuck, lipo - all based on your preferences). *Each artwork image has an approximate 2 week turn around depending on our schedule.

FAQS
**ALL ages & genders are welcome to participate in our artwork sessions.** Children under the age of 18 may not participate in provocative adult posing. Our session contracts must be signed by an adult and we do prefer that a parent accompanies all kids under 18 during the session. *These are fun gifts for tweens & teens too. We can make them more commercial than pinup in those situations. :) For additional humans in your image/s please email us for pricing. If the session is set to take place in your home it does not need to be large, so long as you don't mind us moving some tables etc around we've done them in apartments without a problem. Add more images to your session while we're there for $100 each.

$375 Private Pin-Up PORTRAITS w/hair & make-up

CourtneyThis style of pin-up is done in a natural atmosphere such as your home or at a beach/park and is conducted the same as a normal portrait session, except professional hair and make-up is included. Great for those not looking for artwork or an edited version of themselves. You will get fabulous photography that can be elegant, fun, classy, sexy and all of the above during one session.

This session price is for one female - men, children and pets CAN be included in the photos but hair/make-up/wardrobe is separate (we can negotiate styling with our artists for an additional fee also)

Q: What Kind of PinUps Do You Do? A: Burlesque, Boudoir, Cheesecake, Classic Hollywood, Glamour, Implied Nude, Lingerie, Modern, Modern Retro, Rockabilly, Swimsuit, Tiki, Vintage Commercial, Car & Motorcycle

*This type of session does Not include the artwork editing magic that happens at our virtual pin-up ARTWORK sessions; however, they will still be fabulous vintage looking photos if your outfits (we provide some) and hair/make-up are done up. The benefit of this session is since we do not include virtual backgrounds that require hours of editing- you receive 25 images on a disc and 75+ in your online proofing gallery. We will still pose you similar to the pin-up era.

PINUP PUBLICATIONS & The Modeling Release

Inside are the images that we have been given a modeling release for, 95% of our artwork clients sign this release and we LOVE showing of our artwork to the world. Signing the release gives us the opportunity to use the pinup images not only in our submissions for possible publication but also for art shows and in our stores.
