Happy Halloween :: Scarecrow Pinup

Celebrating Halloween by dressing up in a scarecrow mask and corset. Being both sexy and horrific at the same time. The mask is a custom hand-made prop and is modeled beautifully here. It was a lot of fun doing this shoot playing with the horror genre and applying different lighting setups to play with light and shadow both showing and hiding different aspects of the model and the mask.

How do you dress up a corset?
Add a bow tie!

How do you make it even sexier?
Untie it...

The Corset as Art ft. Dame d'Voltaire vol. 1

Exploring dramatic lighting in the studio with new model, Dame d'Voltaire.

Black Lace with Dame d'Voltaire

Boudoir in the studio with Dame d'Voltaire. The lace lingerie is part of my wardrobe kit and fit her perfectly. We worked in the studio together for hours playing with different props, wardrobe, and lighting and created a wide array of looks for us both to develop our portfolios. I love working with new people and collaborating to create images I wouldn't be able to create with anyone else.

Rachelred as Harley Quinn

Halloween is coming and I have begun a new hobby of costume and prop building for cosplay. I hand-built the prop gun, the mallet, the mask, and even the corset body armor she's wearing. I designed and built each of the parts without any reference beyond a passing glance at previous comic book art. While they are all based on Harley Quinn from the comics they are not copying any one design but instead are inspired by all of them. And a huge Thank You goes to Rachelred for modeling my designs for me.

Halloween is Coming ft. Dame d'Voltaire

In anticipation of Halloween I love including skulls with boudoir sessions. Using forced perspective to give a creepy vibe to the poses, here is Dame d'Voltaire playing with my favorite skull.

Boudoir in Blue ft. Rachelred vol. 2

Studio boudoir with Rachelred. The blue lingerie was purchased specifically for this session, and the sheer white robe is part of my existing kit that layered beautifully. The robe is cut below the bust-line and hangs open naturally. It gave her something to play with and she used it to perfection.

Boudoir in Blue ft. Rachelred vol. 1

Boudoir photography is a beautiful and sensual art form. It allows the model to play a role in the studio that is usually kept hidden behind closed doors. Everyone has a different comfort level and their own idea of what boudoir means to them.

Rachelred is a talented model and very comfortable with herself and posing for the camera. During our initial conversations about our next collaboration, we discussed doing boudoir but she had very little of her own lingerie that would work for a photo shoot. I arranged for her to try out several sets of lingerie from a local store and added those pieces to my wardrobe kit specifically for her to wear during her session. The models I work with usually bring their own wardrobe or browse through my existing kit to add diversity to their session. I keep a variety of sizes and styles of lingerie, accessories, and props for different themes in the studio.
