"Sunny Side Up"

Lately I've been noticing a sudden interest in bondage and fetish in the fashion and art world. More and more artist (painters, illustrators, etc) especially, and fashion magazines/ photographers are using hoods and harness in their art. I've decided today I have to turn bondage into design. The design of image making and function.

Introducing "Sunny Side Up"

"Peek-a-Boo"

"Peek-a-Boo" I see you....

In this set, I wanted to create a more classical and natural sensitivity to these photos. The idea is to combine an equal balance between the model and the hood in which she wears. The first set was shot with the softer intention, which helps to establish a more traditional atmosphere. The second set is shot with higher contrast and harder lighting in order to bring the images back to a more contemporary time.
