Trying to build a variety of looks and styles for a modeling portfolio usually requires working with several different photographers in several different areas. I am trying to find new looks all the time for my clients and friends who are trying to build a strong working portfolio. A big thing these days is retro styles and several photographers are working with make-up folks to create 40's and 50's style pin-up. I haven't been able to wrap my brain around that style to do myself, but I do like some of the old holleywood glammour stuff and this recent iphone with hipstamatic app with its old school look has given me some ideas to -sorta anyway' get into this retro look a little--perhaps trying to learn a style of my own---though I'm not sure exactly where it will go--I think its worth exploring what this new tool will do--and perhaps if I start using outside filters and other techniques to incorporate with the phone app....????? well we'll see!
