yeah exactly , i treat my friends well, so with models and studio owners i treat them with the same respect and care, its not hard to do. I suppose with models becoming friends with photographers its because we have a lot in common most of the time , shared interests and stuff like that.

I just watched ariels video on how to book a fetish model, which got me thinking into how i got started shooting even normal model photos and then onto fetishy stuff. The whole world of model photography seemed very daunting to me from the outset , how does a novice photographer even contact a model in the first place without her laughing at me …..or so i thought so i ummmmmed and arrrrrrd about it for years until something my dad said when he was very poorly which basically said have no regrets if you want to try something try it and don’t leave it till its too late ….
Two weeks later i was in a studio having a few lighting lessons , and a few weeks after that I had my first proper camera. I shot with the same model for the first 6 or so shots , the lovely Kacie James on here , and my confidence grew and as Ariel said i now had evidence of my work and references.
Soon after that i started to find my own style and worked with other Restrained Elegance models shooting with Tillie, Katie Cee, Rachelle Summers , Roxy Mendez, Natalia Forrest and Natalia K.
I consider myself really lucky in that I’m quite good friends with a lot of the models I work with so it was in conversation with Tillie after she done he first shoot here , that i had seen it cos I was a member and liked bondage stuff but hadn’t ever shot any ……so thats how basically Tillie bullied me into tying her up haha and I’ve not looked back , its nothing to be scared by , if its something you like then be open about it, If i have an idea for a shoot ill discuss it before and as its a team sport a good model will probably add to your ideas as well so you get more out of the shoot.
