Due to the nature of what it is, you might consider extra oomph from detailed macros of the natural gasket that holds the tail in place. It' possible to be artistic and provocative, with rich lighting and composition.

Im not that great with those but i think your right and i may try getting out of my box for some shots like that..Butt(pun intended) i want to get some more full bodied shots ..i think my port lacks it and i worry ,despite my shortness,that a lack of imgs that show more of my form other than like.. 3/4ths might be a strike agianst it?

Im also exploring the more fetishy stuff since it seems to more popularly published in the alt genre these days which, though i do like to do what ever my heart pleases i do have goals to see my work published n what not one day^_^

Iv never once made a penny off of what iv done till*peeks* this week actualy. LoL And im feeling rather industrious lately , i love having goals but i love meeting my goals even more! LoL

I’d say contact any of the designers you like and ask them if they want you to model for them.

*blush* i actualy have a email template i send out when i find new stores. I usualy dont bother larger brand names though. So things like Vex and what not iv never realy bothered because i assume they have thier chioce of models to use already?

It never hurts to ask, clothing lines will use a model that have the "look" they want in exchange for clothes she/he models for them. I'm working with one such fetish/alt/retro model now with a retro clothing company that has some very nice clothes.

I'm actually going down to a local clothing design school tomorrow to ask them about this. Of course, the trick is getting stuff for both me and my models...

Well i normaly agree but i assume that the larger more industriouse lines have the ability to find what they need around them since more ppl are eager to work with them.Where as smaller new palces, reguardless of location, are more like "ohhhh shes an asset to us we are luck to have her!" lmfao well not like that but you get what i mean( i hope)

So im a short specialty model.Not much money in that realy.
And i know this. However there seems to be more of a place
for me in the more fetishy sort of looks and i think doing some
of that(some.not all.I rather not be a one trick pony lol)could
actualy be some fun! However, i realy dont like the cheaply done
fetish photos..I adore work like you see in harpers bazaar and
vogue..the quality and edgyness but id love to see it turned
into something more alternative and sensual..So im looking for
very polished vibrant photographers and models who do fetish
work to get some inspiration from.

Soooo id be your buddy if you could link me up to some realy polished great photos that are more along the line of alternative fetish or sensual..Doenst have to be only latex(pfh, like i could afford that stuff) but u get the idea^_^

hmmm.
sort of. some companies lend stuff to models because they ask and the companies figure that they can get some free advertising. usually the clothes have to be returned though. that's a lot of cost to be giving out.

fetish clothing lines dont just give out free clothes. it does happen but not on a regular basis. especially if you're talking about quality latex in exchange for some pretty photos. there are so many models and photographers out there willing to supply images to these companies.

as a model, or a photographer, trying to get work in a suddenly oversaturated um, business, you have to ask yourself, "what can i offer that the others don't besides pretty pictures?". free publicity? that can be nice, but on what sort of levels?

in the end, the bottom line is what it is about too. the ability to push sales and promote a company by active participation. for a model, wearing some latex clothes you got for free at a club so that your friends can see, and want, and then ask for some loaners isn't doing the job of generating sales.


oh shit.got off on a lil rant there.

anyhoo, fotographers
yea, christophe mourthe does some fashiony stuff tho he also does a bit more porny things too.

try um, thomas rusch.
www.thomasrusch.com/
he's based out of berlin and paris and does fashion stuff too as well as some fetish/bondage. i worked with him a few years ago.

also, gilishani in berlin. just shot with him for some projects.
www.gilishani.com

stevedietgoedde has some things that have placed his images in photo books and magazines, as well as some "fashiony" editorials, but those have been shot with such editorials in mind.
www.stevedietgoedde.com

ive also done some fashion based fetish stuff with kelly lind too.
mentioned above tho the images wont be featured prominently on his site since these were shot as editorials and not solely for content for our sites.
