Diner Cover Shoot

The April 7th issue of College Times was dedicated to local restaurants and locally grown produce. Because of that my editor was hoping for a 50's-style pin-up diner cover, so I went location scouting for local diners in the Phoenix area. My assistant editor suggested a place called Mac Alpine's on 7th St. & Oak.

Stepping into Mac Alpine's was like stepping into a Norman Rockwell painting... It was the perfect setting, and the waitresses were done up in the right outfits, and one in particular had a pin-up style of her own. I approached the owner and the waitress at Mac Alpine's to see if they would like to be featured on our cover. They agreed. So I went back the next day. Here is the result.
