Synopsis

While candy-colored pinup may be popular with some, this is a collection of dark, sexy images that truly reflect the sophisticated side of the pinup genre. Seemingly ripped from the men’s magazines of yesteryear, these photos are so authentic looking down to the smallest detail as if they were actually taken decades ago. Bullet bras, seamed stockings, high heels, and girdles bursting at the seams! Internationally published photographer Mark Anthony Lacy specializes in bringing out the allure and sensuality of his female subjects. He combines his backgrounds in art, architecture, film, and photography to create incredibly authentic vintage tableaus in his New York studio.

About this title

About the Author:

Born in the 1960s, raised in the 1970s, survived the 1980s, Mark Anthony Lacy found himself in the 1990s, and now making a name for himself in the world of pinup photography. Add to that an appreciation for the unique fashion styles of vintage lingerie and you can understand why he excels in this genre.

Review:

Kneeling at the altar of Bunny Yeager and Irving Klaw, Lacy aims for an authentic, spare-no-details vibe of the 1950s, often shooting in beautiful black and white. Divided by hair color, his subjects often can be found lounging in a rumpus room decorated with gaudy drapes, animal-print furnishings and/or a hi-fi ready to soothe and seduce via the swankiest singles of Hank Mancini. With their hair done up in immaculate curls and waves, the girls wear something of a uniform: heels, hose, pearls, opera gloves and the kind of lingerie preferred and built by Howard Hughes. --Rod Lott, bookgasm.com
