This week Revamped session was with the amazing model
Queenie at Horseneck Beach Westport, Ma.
This session was inspired by photographer and model
Bunny Yeager.
Born in
Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania,
U.S. Yeager became one of the most photographed models in
Miami. After retiring from modeling, she began her career behind the camera. She met
Bettie Page in 1954, and took most of the photographs of her that year.
[1] Along with photographer
Irving Klaw, Yeager played a role in helping to make Page famous, particularly with her photos in
Playboy magazine.
[1] Yeager is also credited with discovering the model
Lisa Winters.
[citation needed] Following Page's retirement, Yeager remained a successful photographer. She took the well-known still images of
Ursula Andress on the beach in the 1962 James Bond film
Dr. No, and discovered many other notable models.
[1] In 1968 she played the role of a Swedish masseuse opposite Frank Sinatra in
Lady In Cement.

When I first started to really photograph Pin- up a few years ago in my searches I had come across
Bunny Yeager's website.
At the time was was still working. I had order a bunch of her
books and they all came signed. How amazing and what an inspiration. I
still have her business card in a place or honor in my studio.
