Eight Zero X INSTA.LIGHT ENB
Photoshop (levels, border)
I don't often shoot pinups. Not that I have anything against the genre- bodies are beautiful, and deserve to be celebrated in all their many forms. Outside of screen-shooting, pinup art has a long and vibrant history as an emblem of feminist resistance to body-shaming social mores- and an equally long and sordid history as an emblem of the patriarchal reduction of women and their bodies to objects of desire.
A subtle but significant difference exists between works created along the spectrum between these two poles. It seems that more photography-photographers are able to work with models to create pinup art that is as respectful as it is salacious or celebratory (though there are certainly plenty of skeevy creepers out there leering through the lens). Without the person-to-person negotiations between model and photographer that are a part of any real-life shoot, it seems that more (but by no means all!) screen pinup artists are creating work that tends towards the icky male-gazey and objectifying side.
