If you are reading this post, chances are you’re probably intrigued by what “Explicit Adult Material” really means. Hehehe. Firstly, shame on you for looking! Secondly, it IS explicit. That’s why for everyone’s sake, I’ll only showcase the more PG-13 photographs in this post and put only the R-rated photos in a separate slideshow. I bet all of you are scrolling down the screen right now, trying to find that link. Tisk Tisk!!
Anyway, this series of photos were shot from one of The New York Pin-Up Photography Meetup Group events. In this case, It was a Burlesque show at the Slipper Room hosted by Brandon Herman, the organizer of the Pin-up Photography meetup.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with what burlesque shows are, I will now quote from Wikipedia — “Burlesque is a humorous theatrical entertainment that involving parody and sometimes grotesque exaggeration. In 20th century America, the form became associated with a variety show in which striptease is the chief attraction.” In other words, it’s skin art– of the big tease variety.
Here is a little sample of what I mean by teasing:
It’s amazing how something as simple as removing a the glove while making alluring eye contact can provoke such eroticism.
Lets get the show started.
These are the name of the performers at this show:
Miss Em
Kristen Tabbutt
Veronica Vroom
Weirdee Girl
The Luvely Rae
Lily Stitches
Although not all performers are showcased in this post and in the slideshow, they were all very entertaining and talented.

Pin-up meetup by the promenade at Riverside Park. Shoot started 45 minute before sunset. Very difficult lighting to work with because we were at the West side. But I think most of the shots came out pretty good. Thanks to the wonderful and enthusiastic group of models.
Models:
1. Mallorie
2. Dolly McDermott
3. Martina
All photographs were shot in Raw Format with my Canon 50D.
I used either a 85mm @ f/1.8 Lens, ISO100.
Post processed with Aperture and Photoshop CS4.

This photo shoot was organized by Brandon Herman of The New York Pin-Up Photography Meetup Group from Meetup.com.
Present at the event were 15 to 20 photographers, ranging from beginner to professional, and a handful of models. It was great watching how these photographers directed the models for each shot, staged the props and calibrated the lighting. It is definitely a fantastic learning experience for anyone who’s interested in fashion photography.
The theme of this event was Winter Wonderland. The studio was decorated with wads of cotton “snow” and lots of snowflake ornaments. Models in vintage-styled fashion, posed with seasonal props such as a sled, a pair of skis, a stuffed penguin, six- packs of Coca-Cola. Occasionally, there would be snowfall– a white confetti tossed onto the models from behind the scenes. Extremely playful. Hope you enjoy the photos!
NOTE: Models, if you want high-res copies of your photos, please shoot me an email at <hoyu.yiu@yello77.com> and I will send you a link where you’ll be able to download the photos. (What is showcased here is only about 70% of what I’ve shot, so feel free to ask about the other photos.
