Frank's Idea
Tutorial Photoset (130 photos) starring Ariel Anderssen added 11 June 2007
This was the last set we did at the first Restrained Elegance Bondage Photo Tutorial. Everyone had been playing 'tease Hywel' all day, especially about my barefoot fetish... I can't imagine where such a disrespectful attitude could have come from. The only person who was giving a lead in the cheekiness stakes was Ariel (as usual....) but I knew her punishment would come soon enough.
No, Frank's idea was cute, sexy and fun... and calculated to wind Hywel up ever-so-slightly. And did Ariel play up to it? Did she positively relish posing in those horrible rainbow stripy socks? Of course she did! Bah. And probably Humbug, to boot! :-)
The lighting we used here is one of my classic patterns, invented in the days where I couldn't have afforded a proper white infinity cove even if I'd know what one was. The soft, even but directional lighting comes mostly from lights behind the white cloth backdrop, fired through the cloth. You can balance that with frontal lighting from a single source like an umbrella to get good modelling on the face but hardly a hint of shadows.
OK, I admit it. Ariel did look stunning when the socks were used to put her in a tight hogtie and to gag her!
