Daria and I had spent the whole day in a hot studio having lots of fun. We felt it was time for a refreshing dip in the pool. We were down to the last outfit: a lime green body from William Wilde that we matched with a rhinestone belt I got from Elissa Poppy. That would prove to be the perfect outfit to splash around in. The perfect ending to a great shooting day.
Oh, wait… Possibly the best part of the day was spending the evening talking over dinner and a glass of wine. The summer of 2020 wasn’t all that bad after all.
Little over a month ago, Shannety–one of my favorite models–launched her webshop SecretLittleCloset. She worked hard on this project. For her website she got a little help from me. And it was pretty much a matter of course that I would also be the one to photograph her collection for her website. Here’s a few pics from the sessions for her 1st collection.
As you can see, Shannety is very happy with the release of her webshop. As am I, by the way. I am very happy and honored, she choose me as her resident photographer to shoot her collection. And I’m truly proud of what she’s accomplished over the last couple of months. You rock girl!
When your favorite model calls you to ask if you wanna help her with a new project, what would you say? When I got the question from Shannety, I said:”What are your plans? How can I help?”. That started us on an adventure to build a webshop. She did most of the work. I helped her with the photography of course and provided a lot of consultancy. And tataaaa… A few weeks later, or rather a few months later, she has a webshop selling the cutest dresses and more.
I am quite excited about the launch of her webshop today. We’ve both put a lot of effort and hours in the project. I am proud of what we’ve accomplished so fare. I wish her the best of luck with the shop. And I will continue to support her of course.

I don’t put out model calls very often. But when I do, I am fortunate enough to get response from the coolest ladies. Axelle replied to my model call of January to test new lighting setups.
The blue & pink shots from a previous post were results from one of the new setups I wanted to try. The other setup was one with colored rim lights. Having done some black & white portraits with rim lights previously, I wanted to take it to the next level.
Back in January, I had Shannety and her friend Elinne over for a shoot. We started of that shoot with some portraits and stuff. But you know me: no shoot is complete without some latex. So halfway through the shoot Shannety and I shifted to a latex and vanilla outfit in a little more moody setting. At first, she wore a half cup semi-transparent latex bra from Elissa Poppy and stylish black vanilla pants.
Eventually, Shannety changed in to a full latex outfit and her friend Elinne joined her for a small series. Shannety’s wearing a skirt from William Wilde. As is Elinne. And Elinne is wearing a top from KinkyKex. Elinne is wearing high heels from Pleaser Shoes.
I put out a model call to test a new lighting setup and some ideas. Axelle replied with great enthusiasm that she would love to come and try on latex for the 1st time and be the talent for my test shoot.
After shooting 2 sets of a mix of latex and vanilla clothes–read about part 1 and part 2 of these shoots–I setup for my test shoot while Axelle dressed up in a 3 piece latex outfit. After about 15 minutes of trying, I was happy with the light setup and we continued to create these 2 cool images.
I helped both photos along by adding background elements in Photoshop.
Shannety and Elinne make a perfect pair. Whether in black & white or in color, these 2 girls look stunning together.
It gives me great pleasure to announce a big overhaul of my website. The brand new look has been live for about a week now. And I’ve been working diligently to solve the last few issues since then.
I have maintained a website since the early 90’s of the 20th century. Originally with static HTML pages only. But I quickly adopted WordPress as the core of my site.
My site has been styled by the Enfold theme for WordPress since September 2013. An amazing theme: very versatile, stable, regular updates and good support. I absolutely love this theme and I will continue to keep my eye on it.
Driven by another web design project that I am helping to put together, I redesigned my own site based on the BlackSilver theme. My site now offers a new clean design, bigger pictures and a full screen slideshow with my favorite photos on the home page.
I hope you like it. Drop me a mail or leave a comment and let me know what you think.
Axelle and I shot a 2nd set mixing latex and vanilla clothing. I showed you results from the 1st set in this post back in April. These are results from that 2nd set. It is sorta sporty. Axelle is wearing her own coveralls over a white latex top from Blacklickorish. Just as with the other combo Axelle tried, this outfit would be great to take outside too. Something with like a skateboard maybe?
It seems like forever since I have done something with 2 colors as a backdrop. I did some cool things on shoots with Shana and Delphine in early 2019. After that there was a whole lot of nothing. When Kirsten told me she had a white latex dress and a red petticoat, I built a white/red set to shoot that outfit. We added a couple of elements from my collection–the red bow and high heels–to complete the outfit.
