Hi Hywel and Forumers!

With the forum having been down and my having spent the past couple of weekends away I have not had opportunity to comment on the above set (January 25th). As Hywel mentioned in his intro to the set this was my idea for one of Hywel and Ariels excellent tutorial days at the RE studio (Hywel even included my fantastically realistic and flattering PowerPoint rendition of Ariel in my bondage concept).

As I have mentioned before in the forums the day of the tutorial was truly special, I got to meet Hywel and Ariel AND obtain my first experience of studio + bondage photography (who could ask for a better subject for both). I left with many great memories and a DVD of the photos shot during the day. Now, well into 2009, I was just beginning to get over my post RE-shoot smugness when the set hit the site. My impressions? Well WOW! Thank you so much, they look fantastic – I still can’t quite believe that my concept and photos have appeared on the site as a proper set (I really can’t think of another site out there where this could happen).

As discussed in the intro to the set the ribbons proved to be a bit of a nuisance to tie with as they kept slipping off Ariel and it was unfortunate that the bondage didn’t really stay in place all that long (Hywel was very patient though!). As Hywel said in the intro though the bondage was effective as, at the end of the set, Ariel had to be cut from her ribbons and as you can see from the picture below (one of mine – but then you might already of guessed that from the content!) the ribbons even left marks!

Thank you both again for a truly memorable day and for turning it in to a fab update for the site.

A very smug CD
