'The Art of Pinup' was an event held at a local club here in Seattle as an adjunct to the monthly gallery walk. It was a fascinating event-- the promoters basically lined up a bunch of models and a half dozen or so photographers, created a handful of 'sets' around the club, hired a DJ and put on a show-- they charged admission for people to come in and watch the photographers shoot pictures of the models who were styled and made up in the fashion of 40's and 50's cheesecake models.

The photographers rotated between sets every hour or so, and the models rotated every fifteen minutes.

I was shooting with a portable Lumedyne flash system, a 40" diffusion panel and my Olympus e-10. This is a picture of Max, who was actually one of the producers of the event, besides being a fabulous model.
