Think of every pin-up icon you have ever admired, the victory rolls, the red lipstick, the wink to camera that says I know exactly who I am. A pin-up shoot at Dollhouse brings that golden-age glamour to life around you, and it might just be one of the most fun and transformative things you do all year.
The Golden Age Of Hollywood, Reimagined For You
Our pin-up styling draws on the glamour of 1940s and 1950s Hollywood, all polka dots, pencil skirts, victory rolls and perfectly winged eyeliner. Our stylists have spent years perfecting authentic vintage looks, and our wardrobe holds hundreds of pin-up costumes and accessories ready to transform you into your own screen siren, without a single item to source or buy yourself.
No Experience Necessary
You do not need to have modelled before, and you certainly do not need to know how to pose. In fact, most of our clients arrive telling us exactly that, and leave with images they cannot believe are them. Every part of the pin-up experience, from the wardrobe to the makeup to the posing, is built around welcoming complete beginners.
Guided Posing And Expression, Every Step Of The Way
Our photographers direct every single shot, from the tilt of your chin to the playful arch of an eyebrow. Vintage pin-up photography lives and dies on personality and expression, and our team knows exactly how to draw that out of you, coaching you through poses that feel natural even if you have never struck one in your life.
The Confidence Effect
Something happens when you see yourself styled like a Hollywood icon of the silver screen. Clients regularly tell us the shoot itself was transformative, but it is the moment they see their images that truly changes how they see themselves. We do not manufacture confidence. We simply reveal what was always there, one perfectly posed shot at a time.
Vintage Styling From Head To Toe
Every pin-up session includes two hours of professional hair and makeup, styled entirely around the era, along with your choice of costumes from our extensive vintage wardrobe. Think seamed stockings, statement heels and accessories chosen to complete the look, all included and all guided by stylists who live and breathe this aesthetic.
Who Is A Pin-Up Shoot For?
Everyone. Truly. We welcome clients of every age, background and size, with costumes available from XS through to 5XL, because vintage glamour was never meant to be exclusive. Whether you are celebrating a birthday, a big life change, or simply want a day that feels entirely your own, a pin-up shoot at Dollhouse is for you.
If you have ever wondered what it might feel like to see yourself as a true Hollywood icon, this is your invitation. Book a consultation with our all female team in the Jewellery Quarter and find out for yourself.
