"Robert Alvarado Navy Pin Ups"

Robert Alvarado is a specialized pin up photographer who has been professionally photographing since 2005.  He credits exposure to the pinup images of the 1950’s during his critical adolescent years as a large influence to his work. Taking “vintage type shots” and turning those memories into an art form has become the “biggest passion” in his life right now. He cites great influences from artists Gil Elvgren, Alberto Vargas, and Olivia plus Norman Rockwell in their images, color and beautiful women. Alvarado has been taking photographs all his life but has only begun doing so professionally in the last fourteen years. Describing himself as a regular guy just doing what he loves, Alvarado quotes Michelangelo in saying: “I am a poor man and of little worth, who is laboring in the art that God has given me in order to extend my life as long as possible”. He brings a refreshing enthusiasm to his newest vocation and claims he is “like a big kid when he’s photographing someone.”

I hope you all enjoy these Navy Pin ups from his wonderful collection …
