October was on hand all the time to help with poses which was invaluable, it is definitely harder than it looks! Above all I loved my transformation I couldn’t believe I could look like that! Thankyou both so much , Deb and Paul xx

I had a shoot with the pinup academy on Saturday and I absolutely enjoyed it. My make up and hair by October was outstanding and after the shoot I got tons of compliments from people on the street. Si and October are the perfect team behind the camera, they gave perfect directions on how to pose me to make the photos look their best, and they made me feel super comfortable. If I had more time in the U.K I would definitely continue to go to them.

I had the best time with October and Si Pinup Pictures at The Pinup Academy, I felt so welcome from when I first arrived and felt at home right away. I was well catered for (they make great tea!!) and we had a proper laugh, Si is a fantastic photographer to work with and I would highly recommend him – especially to any ladies who haven’t worked with a male photographer before. Take my word for it, The Pinup Academy is superb!!

Jessica Hardie

The Pinup Academy is fantastic. I had so much fun working with them at The National Hot Rod, Custom and American Car Show – they really are lovely, and talented and a lot of fun! Their workshop the other week was fantastic! I’d definitely recommend it! I picked up some top tips and I’m really pleased with the first photo from the workshop shoot – can’t wait to see the rest! Hope to work with you guys again soon!

Lillian Love

I had a brilliant time at The Pinup Academy, the sets are breathtaking and I was really pleased with my hair and makeup by October Divine – I asked for Dita Von Teese style hair and she nailed it! I was able to be really creative with the shots and ideas that I had in mind and felt really comfortable in doing so. I had such a hard time choosing from the brilliant photos that were taken for me and would love to work with Si and October again in the future!
