pinup ideas


Think glam pinup is just for models? Think again! With these great and simple tricks you'll be on your way to posing like a pro at your very own pinup shoot, like Shawna featured above! Come check out www.larenoriginal.com to find out how to book your own pinup shoot in the Boca Raton, Florida area.




Laying on Back with Legs Up
Perfect for flaunting your legs and cleavage, this pose is particularly flattering if you’re not too keen on showing your tummy. This classic pin up pose features the model laying on her back, with legs up and crossed, and arms resting above her head. Lay on your back with your back slightly arched, and legs in the air this is a great way to hide any troublesome areas, while showcasing your cleavage. Pin up photography is all about highlighting your best assets!


The “S” Curve
To accentuate your amazing hourglass figure, simply stand with your feet close together and the majority of your weight resting on one foot. Keep one knee slightly bent and pop your hip to one side to create a gorgeous curved shape. Simple, easy, and absolutely fabulous!


The “L” Shape
For a cute and playful look, stand with your legs close together and hinge forward from the hips, anywhere from a 45 degree angle to a 90 degree angle to create a “L” shape. This pose is fabulous for showcasing your stunningly long legs or your décolletage. Add an extra touch of va-va-voom by slightly kicking up one leg from the knee. Hello, mama!




Over the Shoulder
Another classic pose features the model with her back to the camera looking over her shoulder. This fun, kittenish pose is all about showing off your legs and backside. Simply stand with legs together and gently pop your hip to one side. Place your hands either at your hips or above your head for the extra oomph of pin up attitude. Then, simply turn your head over your shoulder and give the camera a “come hither” smile. Voila! You’re a fabulous pin up model!

While remembering these classic poses will help you get started, pin up photography is all in the face! It’s about personality and facial expressions. What look are you going for? Is it a smoldering vamp? Sweet and playful? Or cheeky and naughty? Take some time in front of a mirror and see what expressions work best for you. Expressions that feel most natural and comfortable will really radiate on camera, while a practiced fake smile can make the shoot seem stifled and awkward. But most importantly, make sure to have fun and let your inner pin up shine through!

Making Magical glows in Photoshop- how to guide

I got a lot of compliments on my magical glowing book photo and some questions on how it was made. So I thought I would put together this quick how to guide on how to capture and edit your own magical glowing book or object photo and edit it in Lightroom and Photoshop. I made this shot using my Nikon D3300 with a Sigma 17-50mm 2.8. Its actually a really fun and easy set up for any manual dslr, that almost anybody of any camera skill can do! There's no external flash or lighting setups, so the only things you will need for this is a book or object in which to illuminate, a cell phone or flashlight, and a person.

Reinventing retro and vintage clothing with Rit Dyemore

From drab to fab with Rit Dyemore!  Reinventing retro and vintage clothing Article by: Ashleigh Simon Videos and photography by: La Ren Originals How often do you look in your closet and think, “I wish i could update my wardrobe.”? Do you have vintage or retro pieces that are stained or just unflattering? No need to buy new clothing, you just have to get creative! If you have a dress that has sleeves, and have gotten your use out of it, that's when it's perfect to cut the sleeves off and make it a summer dress.  Another option would be to add length or shorten a piece. Doing things like this will keep your wardrobe current for each season. I'm sure most of you have that one dress you wore once, and it's been sitting in your closet  since side ponytails were cool. Sometimes all you need is a broach, flower, or adding a nice trim. But when adding accessories doesn't cut it, re-vamp them by dying them. In the example below we took this retro wed...

Outdoor portrait photography Guide- My recent portrait session with Shawna Hoffman

Shooting outdoors on location can have its challenges at times. Anything from weather, either ongoing or previous, to other people on the location can either aid or hinder your shooting process.
