We
move to some simple images on
the floor. I like this
particular one because of the
wide angle distortion, which
I've been enjoying
lately. |

We
reach into the bag o' stuff
& pull out this leather whip
thing. It's funny, Ashton
posed with a similar product on
her "Surrender,
Ashton" page.
When she posed with it, she just
swung it so that it wrapped
itself around her thigh. I
mention this to Lydia, saying
that these products really
didn't hurt. Lydia said we
weren't using it correctly --
she then took the whip &
flicked it, so that the tips
snapped against the skin on my
arm. Now, that hurt -- it
hurt good! Like I said,
Lydia is definitely experienced.
Can
you tell -- Ashton's whip was
black leather, but Lydia's whip
is red. |

Now
you can tell the whip is
red. I like the
juxtaposition of the red whip
tails with Lydia's lustrous
long red hair. This
could have been lit better,
but Lydia looks particularly
yummy. |

One
last image for these
public galleries. Playing
with these leather products
makes for a slow sitting -- it
takes a while to figure out
& adjust the products.
But
the sitting didn't end here -- we did have one
final setup. Lydia models
a leather half-bra & panties
set while wearing a dildo
harness, using radically
different (and if I may said so,
nice) lighting setup. These were a tad too
extreme for the public galleries --
these will be
displayed on a secret gallery
page. Click
here for more information about
the secret galleries.
And
there are more images from these
public page setups in the Out
Takes Gallery. Click

Assessment:
Lydia has a smokin' figure, and she is
very experienced with fetish &
bondage posing. Further, I love
working with models multiple times,
and this is Lydia's fifth sitting with
me. After multiple sittings, a
good working relationship develops,
and trust is essential to bondage
photography. It is very
gratifying when a model consents to
pose for these kinds of images.
I've
also got to admit that it is a
challenge to do fetish/bondage
photography using good photographic
skills, and I think we've come
close. I still have some work to
do -- I like shadows in my fine art
photography, but in many of these
pictures, the shadows hide too
much. Further, good lighting
isn't quite enough -- the best fetish
images have a sense of drama, and that
is lacking in most of these
images. But it is a good lesson,
and any sitting that teaches me
something and/or inspires future
sittings is a good sitting.
Thanks
again to the folks at Spartacus
Leathers.
