Nashville Workshop…first image

November 13, 2009

Here is the first image that I’ve retouched from my recent trip to Nashville to teach an international group of photographers. This is Kourteney, and she’d never done pin-up before! She was great fun, and good sport and everyone loved her. She stayed for the rest of the day, and agreed to model for us later on when we had our ’shoot-out’ in the evening!

More to come from both Kourteney and our star model too!

I had a great time in Nashville, and teaching photographers is going to form a large part of my future plans for Portland Pin-Ups…especially combined with Pindora’s Box, which photographers can use to make their pin-ups look awesome too. I’m in the final stages of planning my first 2010 workshops, and am planning on heading out of Portland again. First destinations will be released soon. If you want to host me in your city, get in touch!

James Vs Reality

October 27, 2009

My make-up artist, the fabulous Hollie Olsen (available for any make-up services including bridal: Celebrity Spa Services ) is also an actress. She’s staring in a terrific new short due next year, about a guy convinced he’s a super hero and can save the World.

Trailer here:

James Vs Reality

She asked if I could come to the set (an old abandoned hospital) and take a shot of the cast in character….I’d love to!! After we did the main group shot, I had each of them pose as singles again in character.

Here is the group, Hollie and ‘Rufus’ – the mad janitor! More to come, and this isn’t the final processing yet – just testing. The final DVD cover will probably be more fun!

Fantastic news from Portland Pin-Ups!

September 14, 2009

I’ve spent much of the summer structuring my studio, organizing and getting everything ready for a full launch, which is now here! This website was the last piece of the puzzle.

As such, I’ve been able to jig a few things around and reorganize the prices for my pin-up shoots and have brought them in line with my standard portraits – making them much more affordable!!

There has never been a better time to get a pin-up shot, so get in touch with me today to book your session!
