The
sitting pauses for a wardrobe
change. Betcee takes a
little time to figure out how to
get into this leather harness
(making the appropriate
adjustments to cinch it up in the
appropriate spots).
Fortunately, I didn't have to help
-- Betcee is full of girl cooties
(i.e. I don't like touching my
models during a sitting).
Betcee also puts on a bit more
make-up -- she did a masterful job
with that.

Although
the leather harness fits well
& looks good, it isn't
inspiring me at the
moment. So, despite the
time investment in getting
into the thing, we abandon it
in favor of some more nudity
(always a good choice,
huh?). We utilize some
leather cuffs & a
padlock. Yummy.
|
|
|
| We
add this high leather collar
& a leather leash. The
collar is a favorite of mine --
it's a bold statement, it
encourages good posture, and it
photographs well when lit
well. The leash is a
challenge -- remember, I want a
tonal separation between a
subject & the background, so
I'm particularly careful to
capture a little of the leather
sheen off of the leash. I
also like the asymmetrical
composition. And, oh yes,
Betcee looks lovely -- this is
good light for her wonderful
face. |

|
| I
almost don't like this picture
-- as I've stated earlier, I
don't like "model staring
off into the distance"
images, but here, we can assume
the Betcee is looking that the
person holding the leash.
Same with the image directly
below. |
|
This
almost works like I hoped.
I'm using the digital camera,
setting it at a fairly wide
angle setting, and I'm holding
the leash near the camera lens,
but not quite close
enough. However, I like
the pose & Betcee's
submissive expression.
Like I said, it almost works.

|
|
We
keep trying. I like the
one above better than this one
-- here the leather leash is
bigger, but Betcee's face is
in shadow.
|
|
|
| Fun
with a wide angle setting.
I like how the curve of the
padlock becomes a frown on
Betcee's face.
But
when you resort to gimmicks,
perhaps it's time to move
on. |
|
| We
had fun & created some interesting
images with these fetish
products. However, Betcee is one
of those models who has become a
friend, and our relationship doesn't
include this kind of situation.
It didn't feel exactly uncomfortable
-- in fact, we were quite comfortable
making these pictures, but somehow we
were playing at fetish photography; it
didn't quite feel "real" to
me. So, we move on.
Time
for one last setup, and I decide to
play with some props.
This
sitting continues with Clothed
In Clouds
