12/27/2017 0 Comments My Interview With Brooklyn Brat ImagesMy interview with Brooklyn Brat Images, for my column The Pinup Profile in Pinupworship Magazine! Featured model is the lovely The Diamant Duchess.
Please tell us when, where and how you began shooting pinup? I started shooting Pinup Specifically back in 2013 when I met some beautiful ladies that wanted to do a retro shoot and this wonderful car museum in northern Georgia. And why, what made you choose this industry? It was such a wonderful experience between the ladies looks and fashion alongside with the beautiful cars that it brought me back to my days with my dad who was a mechanic, race car driver and lover of the 50s style. I was instantly hooked. What is your personal favorite style of pinup? Cheesecake, Rockabilly, Old Hollywood, Alt? And why? Oh, that’s really tough, I don't think I could choose, I love them all. I love the variety and what women bring to the table with their ideas and creativity. What is your biggest accomplishment to date? When was it, who did it involve and why do you see it as your biggest achievement, thus far? I would have to say my biggest accomplishment to date is just the fact of the growth of my business, between word of mouth and those i work with in the business, wonderful Makeup/Hair Artists, Car owners, shop owners, artist in general that work with me now is just amazing. But if I had to be specific, I would say being at Viva in Vegas and meeting new people and experiencing all that is Viva, was a major accomplishment! You photograph pinups in Georgia and surrounding areas. Do you have a studio and mainly shoot indoors or out? I do have a studio at my house, full studio with backdrops, props, lighting. I love to shoot indoors where I can control the lighting and I love when I can create a set/theme. I also love to shoot outdoors as well, Georgia is full of such a wonderful variety between lakes, beaches, mountains as well as city, using natural light and what’s around you can be wonderful, but you have to plan between time and hope mother nature plays nice when outdoors. What's your favorite set up or location? My favorite studio set had to be the Candy Shop we did, it was huge seller and everyone loved how fun it was. On location, I would have to say Historic Downtown Suwanee, its close by me and it’s just this small street that is most times vacant and quiet. It has some old buildings, a permanently parked train caboose, and of course train tracks. Its quaint and beautiful and have shot some of my favorites photos there. What are your current plans and goals for 2018? What's in the works to end 2017? Planning to rent a home in Vegas for Viva 2018 to do shoots and working with another amazing photographer David Rose from Twisted Pinup Images, as well as Makeup/Hair Artist Always Pretty by Kimber. As for 2017, the end of the year is always the busiest for me, starting next month, August will roll out some final summer shoots then start set design for Halloween, followed by Christmas theme. I won't see a break until after January. What do you love most about pinup and what’s your biggest pet peeve, in pinup? What I love most about pinup is the retro fashion and style, I also love working with men and women who live it every day. My biggest pet peeve must be drama, no matter how much you try to be professional and laid back there is always people that try to bring drama into your life. I try real hard to distance myself from that, life is too short to be hateful, hurtful and petty. Brooklyn Brat Images Columnist Dianna Prince
