February 2008 : Mina came back for another bondage week-end … my flickr friend Warai Otoko joined us for shooting some french shibari :)
few days before I changed my old Nikon D200 for the D300 and I didn’t test if before. I won’t speak again about the camera settings, I already wrote a lot about it. I gave my camera to Warai Otoko as I was able to take most of my time for bondage. As always, I prepared everything (lightning, aperture and speed), like this, my guest has just to click and shoot. when I saw the result on my screen, I didn’t like how the Nikon worked and then started a long fight LOL anyway, my work is focused on shadows and deep tones since more than one year and the result is not so bad. I started by a bondage position I had in my mind but the result is not exactly what I expected … I didn’t want to build all the session around a suspension because it’s not easy for the photographer, especially when he’s not trained to this special exercise. So, after the first position, standing up with a tight crotch rope, I started to semi-suspend Mina before to give her another flight. I always prefer to put the girl in semi-suspension before to lift her other leg. Mina knows that kind of game and it’s always pleasant to watch her fully suspended in the air … I hope you will appreciate it too :) thanks to my model and my guest !

new year, new model ! another french girl who discovered bondage in front of my camera … here is her first rope session !
2008 is over and I must admit this year wasn’t easy to manage : lot of problems, also for the photo part. but, sometimes, a good surprise happens … Graziella contacted me in October and I immediately loved her style. You know I appreciate when a woman is able to play several characteres and I think Graziella is able to do it. You guessed I miss Ana誰s for the inspiration : since my last muse is gone, I have a real problem to find motivation and cool ideas. I am lucky enough to shoot great models like Mina and Am辿lie but I need a little bit more, Ana誰s and I were connected for the mind part and we were used to speak a lot. I loved the way she had to express her thoughts and propose new challenges to explore. I recognized something similar when I met Graziella for the firs time … these two women are different, but some details make me tought about Ana誰s and it helps my mind to wake-up :) I already did three shootings with Graziella and it’s too early to know if our collaboration will be long. At this time, I notice some positive things which could help me to find back the creative mood. For now, here is her first rope bondage session … like a lot of french girls visiting my studio, she has never been bound before and we ended her first photo day with a short shibari time. For the little story, I asked to my friend Audrey to come for the shootingn she assusted Graziella with clothes and other stuff … the presence of another woman always helps the girl to be more comfortable with the situation. It was also nice to work again with two others people, we got a lot of fun together ! For her first bondage, I didn’t make something complicated for Graziella except the final position which was a little bit pervert adding a rope around her neck. Like a lot of ballet dancers, this french girl is comfortable with rope restraint and I am curious to see what the next step will be … Graziella started modeling two years ago for Suicide Girls before to stop for a while, now she moved to Paris, she models again and I’m happy she loved my work enough to contact me. Graziella Krystal will be back soon, so, you will be able to follow her captiveculture’s adventure like you did for others in the past ;-) thanks !
