The Portland Pin-Ups Magic

Mike long is the founding artist of Portland Pin-Ups. Unlike many photographers, Mike began his career as a retoucher prior to Adobe’s release of Photoshop, which led him to pick up a camera. His knowledge of portrait enhancement is more extensive than the average photographer today. When comparing Mike’s often imitated work, his photography techniques are noticeable and differentiate him from the others.

In the fall of 2011, Mike embarked on a 13-city tour, teaching photographers across the US many important pin-up secrets. This tour included both photography and retouching skills that many photographers were lining up to learn.

Booking a session with Portland Pin-Ups is the first step to owning a one-of-a-kind artwork from the west coast’s leading pin-up artist.

Our resident make-up artist, Hollie, will make you look and feel like a million dollars. In an age where ladies spend two minutes in the morning applying their make-up, Hollie will bring out the inner bombshell in you and make you ready for your close-up!
