Monroe Inspired Pin Up from Orange County

This was taken a while ago with a few friends just for fun, I just had photoshop block until last night. This was taken in my Orange County home studio, AKA my apartment dining room and portable studio equipment. I am going a different direction with my photoshop – I want to make it look like they’re worn photos from an old magazine, something that a guy in the army would stick up in his barracks to remember his woman back home. (Which, funny enough, is the story behind this – Ashley Stephens, the model, was an army wife, she gave the proofs to her hubby.)

Notice the wonderful make up and hair – my friend Jennifer Fredrickson is a fantastic artist and, using her mad skills, did a mini-makeover to turn a lovely model into sexy pin up vivacious and stunning!

Coming up are some new Medusa Salon photos… the next in the Medusa series. Oh, and if you’re hankering for more photos, check out my other classic pin ups.
