Chris Searl – modern day Bernard of Hollywood

April 16th, 2009 § 0

I’m a bit of a 50s pinup fan myself.  I’ve got the Bernard of Hollywood instructional photography book for amateur pinup photographers.  I just love the innocence and the confidence of those old pictures and that whole genre.  Those of you who know Chris’s work might have seen a bit of a theme running through.  He has quite a few of these gorgeous, healthy, strong, nymphettes with a come-hither-if-you-dare look about them in his folio and I really think it’s a modern day take on the old genre.  And as they appear in Monster Children, the interviews are really genuine yet still cheeky, rather than the usual ‘what’s your favourite pickup line’ drivel that appears in norg-mags like Ralph.  They’re pinups with a brain.
