Relying on the subtlest of costuming, which goes a long way to add color, texture, humor, and homage to his images, Alvarado uses this collection to focus more on the female form. As with all of his photography, Alvarado uses innovative techniques in these 145+ pin-up nudes to blur the line that distinguishes a photograph from an illustration. With these techniques, his nod to Alberto Vargas, Gil Elvgren, and other pioneering pin-up artists is clear. But the themes, models, and styling in these alluring and luscious images are also steeped in today's popular culture. From the heavily inked and stilletoed to the sexy Storm Trooper and the traditional innocence of the girl next door, Alvarado's images show the breadth of his creativity and the beauty of his models.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50359758094609,"sku":"CIN0764344447G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0764344447.jpg?v=1751263876"},{"product_id":"alvarado-s-all-american-girls-book-robert-alvarado-9780764351419","title":"Alvarado's All-American Girls","description":"Pop culture phenomena from the '80s and '90s, homages to Alberto Vargas and other classic pinup illustrations, and contemporary fashions and fetishes combine to form an exciting collection of modern pinups.
