Hope you all will have a nice trip.
Small wishes/inspiration/inputs to the trip if allowed:
At least a few pics showing people who loved the fun game they are playing.
Smiling happy gagged faces
A little more pics of the proces and not just the struggle – i feel a little waste when a girl has worn a gag for us and we dont get to see it going in or out.
Pics whith gags around the neck are cute – of cause not as an entire set but a few.
A litlle public?? Or just out in the swedish nature – much more interesting than trying to recreate the life of Harald bluetooth maids or the slavegirls captured in the belly of Wasa.
Sets like Ariel in London is what make me stay as a member every month instead of just emptying the site 4 times a year – i want to support a site that makes something new.
And collars – the more the better!! Hope pling get to test the collar i found in copenhagen.
Mentioning Copenhagen – lunch is still an offer if you get through – unless you hit my vacation.
How do you travel?? The x-ray of your suitcase whith the growing steel bondage gear collection must look interesting!!
Have a very nice trip!!
Alex
We’ll see what we can do 🙂
Things are probably going to be quite quiet here as most of the “RE crew” will be heading out to Sweden for our mega-location shoot. We don’t know if we are going to be in email contact so if it takes us a while to get back to you, please bear with us.
If you have any problems with billing or your account, email support@surfmail.net who should be able to assist while we are away.
Cheers, Hywel.
Hello there!
Where in Sweden are you heading? Just curious since I live there myself. 😉
Hi Johan
All I know is they have headed north to make the most of the long hours of golden light? I’m quite envious as the pictures will be beautiful but I can’t go on all the trips- that would be greedy! 😀
Sammie
xThe north eh? I’m looking forward to see what they come up with in this nice country of ours.
We have been in a tiny village called Ratan, 35 km North of Umea. We’ve just got back to Stockholm: writing this from a hotel room by the airport. We’re flying back tomorrow. We’ve shot almost 100 awesome sets with Ariel Anderssen, Kate, Kobe Lee, Pling and Sophia Smith. It’ll take me a few days to process everythin and catch up but I’ll try to post some samples soon.
But here’s a taster from the very last set we shot…
Hywel
Wonderful teaser shot Hywel. Five stunning ladies in cheongsams in a beautiful outdoor setting. The mind reels at the thought of what the bondage photos of this teaser will look like. Hope the trip went well and all had a great time. Will certainly be looking forward to seeing some previews of the sets and of course the final products and we appreciate your effrots and those of the lovely ladies.
Best,
Jeff
… sometimes I find it very hard not to hate you Hywel.
Jeff pretty much said it all, all 5 look phenomenal, especially Ariel & Sophia (I was going to post a very complimentary thread about the Sophia harem set, but that one shot blows the whole set out of the water)… then again, so do Kate, Kobe & Pling.
I sense that this was a very productive trip that we’re all gonna enjoy the results of.
Also, I don’t know why, but I get a very Kill Bill “Mess with us & you’ll regret it for a very long time” vibe off them… odd, but not bad.
Oooh, Sweden was fun! I’ve never been on such a big shoot before, and everyone was super 🙂 I really hope that everyone likes the pictures when they start appearing as sets; I had a marvellous time; some of my favourite moments were;-
-Being able to shoot proper vintage/pin-up style glamour bondage in a location that suited it perfectly
-Being tied up by 4 different people all week!
-Getting ready with all the other models and doing eachother’s hair and makeup 🙂
-Feeling as though Restrained Elegance is really beginning to be a community – I’d love to meet more of the members…
-Whee! A suspension! From a TREE!It’s good to be back on the forum, hope everyone’s having a super weekend.
😀 😀
Hywel and ladies, my apologies. I thought this was a wonderful glamour shoot without bondage but upon looking closer at the photo I see that it indeed did include a little bondage. The charming and lovely Ariel, Kate, Kobe, Pling and Sophia are handcuffed together but it was staged and shot so that the cuffs are very subtle and easy to overlook. Very nicely done all.
Cheers,
Jeff
Yay!!!! It was SO much fun… and everyone worked together so well… and the weather was perfect… where are we going next year Hywel????????? 😆
Also, I don’t know why, but I get a very Kill Bill “Mess with us & you’ll regret it for a very long time” vibe off them… odd, but not bad.
That will be us all throwing Evil Looks at the ridiculously bright reflectors!!!
Kate x
Ah, that’d make sense.
Whee! Back home and had time to process just a few samples. I’ll post a members’ news update about the trip in a day or two. Many thanks to Ariel, Kate, Kobe, Pling and Sophia for being such hard-working and collaborative models, and to Kate (again), Merlin, Steve and Svampen for being such hard-working and collaborative photographers. This is the first trip where I’ve taken only a small fraction of the photos myself, I was mostly running around being the producer making sure everyone was fed, watered, supplied with reflectors, lights, bondage gear, and a little extra help in getting the lighting ready. It was great fun and very productive!
Cheers, Hywel.
Wow, great set of pictures, I look forward to seeing the sets.
Glad you managed to get some good outdoor shoots in. Actually no, those aren’t good, they’re fantastic!
Totally fantastic.
I said it earlier, and I’ll say it again, all the girls look phenomenal.
A few really stand out though. That second image with Kobe in the orange dress looks great, although I can’t quite put my finger on one thing that makes it great, I think its more a combination of all that water, and that orange dress, that colour really seems to suit Kobe.
Ariel looks stunning in… well, pretty much all of them but especially the one where she’s looking up at the camera & holding what looks like a very British cup of tea.
As for Kate, there’s no question, she looks fantastic (I’m running out of complimentary words) in the red dress, cuffs, & leg irons. Kate, you’re even more a knockout than normal in that one.
Sophia, easily the first one of Kobe & Sophia together against that great blue sky.
And last but not least, I love the image of Pling, gagged, cuffed & chained, leaning on a rock & looking at the camera. I think its mostly her eyes, which are… err… I need another complientary word that I haven’t used a dozen times already, that and the fact that even gagged like that, she still manages to look good.
All in all, you’ve all done yourself proud on this trip. Great photos, great setting, great models.
Those are certainly some stunning backgrounds. It looks like you had great weather and that everyone had a great time. I am amazed you brought the cage – that must have been a logistical challenge!
When I was scrolling down, I was beginning to wonder if I had gone on this shoot 😆
The images are fabulous, thankyou so much (again!!) Hywel for the opportunity, and to everyone who shot me.
Thanks to the members for the compliments too, without you all, none of this would be possible.
Sophia x
*stunned*
The indoor shots are, of course, wonderful 🙂
It is those outdoor shots though, the scenery, the views, the models… it all just comes together so wonderfully!
Plus the look in the models eyes, *goes weak at the knees*
The second image, the lovely lady tied to the bridge railings really stood out to me, but then as I went on I realised the rest were just as striking, if not even more so!
Model tied to a tree by her hair! That is evil, inspired, and brilliant all at once 🙂 Humble apologies that I cannot put names to faces 😳
Pling hugging / cradling that rock… there is just something about the look in her eyes.
By the looks of things this was an incredibly successful trip, and many thanks to all concerned for bringing this off! It looks like I am going to have a lot of fun admiring the fruits of your labour 😀
The trip was just SO wounderful………. I had a GREAT time 😀 The pics from the trip looks gorgeous. I keep thinking of all the the fun it was.
Thanks Hywel and the rest of you for making the trip 😀
/ Pling
It’s kind of impossible to explain just how great this experience was and how surreal it is taking part in an R.E. location trip. Can’t thank you enough Hywel for inviting me along to help shoot this! 😀
Spending the week in Sweden living and shooting bondage sets with all the models and photographers is unforgettable. It was a LOT of fun and I hope everyone else enjoyed it as much as I did. If I think back on the week, I get wonderful images in my mind of the models walking around in the house getting ready for each set, then tying them up outdoors on the beach or in a field, scouting out locations finding places to shoot, being totally blown away by how beautiful the girls looked and how everyone worked so well together to produce this material and loving Ariel’s enthusiasm about making up story lines for each set and generally just hanging out with the team eating and drinking in the evenings reviewing the days work. But especially how weird it is to be in daylight at 2:00am that far North! 😀
Ariel, Sophia, Kobe, Pling and Kate look divine in those sample pics. Looking forward to seeing some of the finished sets over the coming months.
Well done everybody and thank you all for a week never to forget and I hope there’s something here for everyone to enjoy. 😛
Steve
You all keep outdoing yourselves! It’s almost mindblowing. I tip my hat to all the models and the photographers for the sets from this trip 😮
I posted a couple of these shots on a model/photographer forum and someone asked if I’d shot the girls from Abba while I was in Sweden. If only! I must admit that Agnetha was one of my first schoolboy crushes… a formative influence? Decide for yourselves… all those satin outfits…
😀
Hywel
wonderfull pics – though you forgot your copenhagen lunch!
Has the same feelings whith the Abba girls – but time has gone – wonder if they would make that good bondage models today!
