Description
Shoot Info - Shot Wednesday, Mar 15, 2006. The goal was to recreate World War 2 era (1940s) pin-ups and Military Aircraft nose-art of the time as best as possible with limited resources. The shoot was shot with a High Key backlight and purposly trying to make the models look more washed out for an artistic painted mimic.
Model - Catherine Allen. She's expierienced in Pin-Up photography, which made for some great ideas on the spot! A lot of fun to work with!
Photo Notes - Starting out a new series with Catherine! I had new props and outfits for this shoot along with the ones from the previous shoots. This one here is with a 1945 replica (and I mean a perfect replica down to the comics and ads) of the famous paper during VE-Day (May 8, 1945) when the war in Europe ended with Germany's surrender during the last year of World War 2. This was a mix of two pin-ups from the time, one being holding the paper, the other being the 'peace' sign she's making with her hand.
Photo Details - Taken with a Canon Rebel EOS 5D (12mp) and Canon 28-105mm USM lens. Shot at a studio where I work in Anaheim, CA.

I'm absolutely impressive with this magnificent recreation of the 50th pin up illustration. Thank you indeed.
this is really lovely....
Excellent capture.
Terrific ART. Very cool image.
great idea! wonderful model and pose so fun!! ...
very cool there is a series 2
She's really expressive! Especially like how the red coloring (hair/newsprint) create a visual relationship and make this POP!
Excellent again :)
A wonderful concept and an excellent picture!
Love this series, bravo!
That's 'V for Victory'. Her hand sign did not come to represent 'peace' in popular culture until much later. A slight distinction, but a meaningful one I think. Her expression really conveys the sense of joy and relief folks had when VE Day arrived. Great pin-up!
a victory shot for sure! :]
Bad news in this newspaper but the announcer is joyful! :)
Actually, V-E Day was Victory in Europe... so it is good news! And yes, you are correct Dengar... it's not a peace sign and actually a V for Victory... my bad on that!
Again love it! some peep toe pvc platform mules would have topped it off! ;)
Excellent! I love your work!
