Professional models are often the brunt of jokes for the lack of talent and skill required to do their job (i.e. Zoolander). I mean, how much does it take to stand up there and look beautiful - especially when you're already a fine specimen of good looks?
Well, look no further than amateur glamour photography and see the sharp distinction. The photographer's resources are limited, and the "models" are completely clueless as to what it takes to "strike a pose". It's a recipe that beckons for a Retrospace post.
I'm sure a lot of you would rather just have the unadulterated photos, but I went and had a little fun with them. I tried to get into the mind of the photographer and his subjects. Alas, pictures are just pictures; any words spoken are lost to the mists time. Here's what I imagine the accompanying audio would sound like.
The custard cup is a piston, and her bracelets are piston rings. Somehow needs something more to get my engine started ...
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff. Can't wait until the next installment.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, reminds me of good old Gallery Magazine, which featured the very nice yet very amateur Girls next door section.
ReplyDeleteSome of those girls are really pretty, but they sure need some direction on posing.
ReplyDeleteWhy was plastic fruit so popular in homes of the 60s and 70s ?
ReplyDeleteAndy Rooney had a piece abut home magazine photos on 60 Minutes many years ago. "Now who in the world actually has plastic fruit in their bathroom?"
DeleteBecause real fruit gets rotten.
DeleteThat was good fun. Thanks and find some more.
