She is gorgeous. Another great set of pics! The little black dress without the nylons would be even better, but no complaints!
I think what I like most about these shoots is that it looks like everyone is having a blast. It's such a turn-off when the 'ler looks like there's a gun to her head and she can't wait to be finished and go home. I never get that impression from your material.
Hey man, I just wanted to say that I really, really appreciate this last comment. It's perhaps one of the best compliments I could think of
I work very consciously to make our material very real, very genuine. When the girls seem like they're enjoying themselves, it's not an act. These shoots really are that fun. When Kim, Chesh, and Langa were in the zone doing their shoots this last year, I actually felt guilty about breaking up the trio so the next gal could come in. Same with Anamaria, Denisa, and Daisy a few years back. The chemistry is sometimes so good among models that just met each other, and it's so much fun, you kind of suspend reality for a moment and forget you're doing work. Doesn't happen often, but it does happen.
I've lost count of how many models have relayed stories to me about "creepy, sex offender vibe" guys that run amok in this industry. Not tickle producers specifically, mind you, just photographers in general
🙂 So I'm very deliberate in my communications with the models during recruiting and during the shoots to reinforce the notion that I don't consider them "meat", "my girls", or "fetishistic playthings." I only like to work with real women. They're someone's sister, daughter, girlfriend, best friend. They're real people. And I believe (perhaps naively so), that when you treat someone with dignity and respect, that treatment tends to come out positively in the final video. They tend to open up much quicker, and we get a good glimpse of their real self, and not necessarily just a personality construct originating as a vehicle to move product.
Tickling is a very intimate act. And if you can't get someone to feel at ease and comfortable almost immediately, I think you've lost something in the process. Because who can honestly let themselves go and laugh their heads off when, in the back of their mind, they're worried this guy holding a feather might actually want to sexually assault them while they're tied up? So putting people at ease is one of the paramount traits I think a new producer needs to master immediately (no doubt those that have been doing this for awhile have already learned this skill).
I didn't want to overplay that on our site, but it's a very central core philosophy of how I conduct business, and it makes me very happy to hear that someone out there can appreciate the result on some level
Oh...and duly noted about the nylons. I think she would've looked great without them, as well. I like to mix the looks up a bit, but I get so many nylon requests, it's hard to turn it down when the models bring them to the shoot, you know?
, and she was just a blast to have around.
