Sweaters Are Sexy ft. Ophelia vol. 3

Sweaters can be worn as an accessory or as a shirt with nothing else beneath. This piece is from my wardrobe kit and has a single closure at the neck which allows the sweater to drape open across the breasts. When I purchased this sweater, it was waist-length and the sleeves were much longer and cuffed. Then I cut it off and frayed the sleeves and body to make a cropped accessory for sessions just like this one. A side effect I didn't foresee is that when the model raises her arms or twists, the sweater spreads open revealing everything beneath. Instead of a skirt, Ophelia wore a black scarf tied around her hips. You can find more black scarf poses here. And now I present to you a very sexy sweater set...

Shibari: Dragonfly ft. Jay

The Dragonfly or Ladder Binding begins at the shoulder and captures the arms equally from both sides and down to the wrists immobilizing the model's arms. It is a beautiful design and in this set, I added it to the previously tied Hishi Karada rope dress. There are glimpses of nudity in this set therefore it is Not Safe For Work

Black Scarf ft. Ophelia

I have a wide variety of scarves to use for fashion and glamour sessions. This black scarf is one of the longest and softest in my collection. Ophelia wore it with nothing else but got full body coverage creating a tube top and skirt from the same piece of fabric. She held it so perfectly she made it incredibly sexy to wear a scarf.

Curtain Call ft. Ophelia

It's time for your curtain call!!!
When the performance is done and the curtains have come down, the audience will applaud and at times give a standing ovation. Its only right that the performer comes out from behind the curtain to acknowledge the ovation. But what if you have already disrobed? Then I guess you come to the stage in the nude and tease your audience again.

Shibari: Rope Dress ft. Jay

Definition: Shibari is a Japanese term meaning "to tie." It is an art form which involves weaving intricate knots for binding and suspending people for artistic and erotic purposes.

I find the art of Shibari to be beautiful in how it is interwoven with the body. I have admired this art form for many years and am now confident in my abilities to share them now. It takes a lot of trust to allow yourself to be bound and vulnerable, while at the same time being on display for the camera. I also have to thank Jay, for being an amazing model and volunteering herself to my art. The design you see below is called Hishi Karada, or rope dress, or diamond harness. It has many names and its beautiful no matter what you call it.

Red Lace Lingerie ft. Ophelia vol. 2

Strapless lingerie has a tendency to move out of position. Sometimes its moved on purpose. The art of the tease is so much fun to capture on camera. From the almost to the full reveal. Ophelia is a natural at this type of modeling. I saved my favorite from this set for the bottom of the post.

Boudoir: Corset & Lace ft. Ophelia vol. 1

Exploring the corset as art and accentuating the allure with a lace fan.
This is a continuing theme that I have been developing for years. Every model portrays a different personality while wearing a corset. I love capturing those switches in personality brought on by a specific wardrobe change. This fan is part of my prop kit and always adds a bit of a tease as its being used as a cover-up but it doesn't last long...

Rachelred as Harley Quinn 2.0

I have a desire to create art in as many forms as possible. Having a favorite comic book character as inspiration lets me create props and costumes that have no business in the real world but play really well through the comic book universe. Harley Quinn has recently become my favorite femme fatale in comics. I have invested in several versions of her costumes from film, comics, and cartoons to utilize in various photo sessions. I also hand-made a variety of props for these sessions including the mallet shown above which was shown briefly in the suicide squad movie. I made a ridiculously over-sized mallet inspired by various comic books, a two-toned corset/bustier, a joker-esque mask, and a prop gun with an over-sized barrel corked with a dead-batman face. You can find images from that session here. For this session, I wanted a simple costume so we made use of this harlequin-design t-shirt and threw in the boots and played with the mallet in a variety of poses.

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.

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.

Halloween Is Coming ft. Kahlan - TBT

Halloween is my favorite time of year, and as July comes to a close, it becomes a countdown for me. Here we have a series from a past session with Kahlan playing with one of my many skulls. I have so much fun playing in the studio with talented models and capturing how expressive they are in different scenarios. The images within contain nudity and are Not Safe For Work.

Boudoir: Corset and Lace ft. Kat

The corset is such a sexy wardrobe piece. It covers more than most lingerie, while it seems to show something forbidden. The laces down the back have a beautiful symmetry and in the right lighting becomes a piece of art in itself.

Curtain Call ft. Kat

Studio photography has the potential to get repetitive and stale. How do you avoid that? You have to find a way to reinvent and renew your small space. Props are a great way to add a little variety to each pose and it gives the model something to interact with as well. In this instance, my prop of choice wa a set of sheer, white curtains I have hung in my studio. I didn't have to give much direction here. My main instruction was to wrap yourself in the fabric and play a sexy peek-a-boo game with the camera. Its one of those series where you want to keep looking to see if there's more to see.

Day of the Dead - Blood Lust

This is the next installment in my mask-making series. I have been creating masks as a hobby to build on my creative impulses. This is a continuation of my first tear-away Day of the Dead mask with this one being much more graphic with drips and blood stains across the entire face of the mask. All the blood details between the masks are hand-sculpted and are 3-D with hand-painted detail in varying shades of red to simulate blood and muscle beneath the surface. The smaller mask attaches with magnets embedded within the sculpture so no strings or fasteners are visible. The eye sockets are filled with black and red lace in order to separate the model's eyes from the mask. Black silk roses are splattered with red paint to mimic blood splatter and matches the other details on the masks. The juxtaposition of the horror of the mask and the beauty of the model is my new favorite technique.
