We had such a fun afternoon on Thursday shooting pin-ups at Vespa Scooters and Sophie's Cosmic Café on West 4th Avenue in Vancouver. What a hoot! Thanks to all the guys at Vespa, and especially to Vince who helped us out by stepping into a couple frames.
We moved from there to the studio, where I discovered I had been burgled. All my studio gear--lights, modifiers, softboxes, a snazzy Larson reflector--were gone, along with some favourite drapes for maternity shoots. And honestly, who knows what else? I didn't have the heart to poke through the leftovers. Dishearteningly, it proves to be an inside job, since the studio itself wasn't broken into. Not a great way to start the new year, I'll tell you.
Sarah was in full pin-up hair and makeup and it seemed a pity to let it go to waste. Gary Deck of Gary Deck Photography was shooting with me, and happened to have come with his 580EXII, and a ringflash (which I used sparingly), saving the day. Any photo geeks out there know how challenging that must have been for me when I was planning 40s glamour lighting.
But I love, love, love these photos.
